Description
This qualification reflects the role of individuals who work in paraprofessional design and manufacturing roles in furniture or similar organisations using a combination of technical, creative, practical, research and project management skills in small-scale design projects. At this level these individuals are able to work collaboratively to establish and refine the design brief and to develop and implement design solutions for application in a commercial context. They use detailed knowledge of the design process, current technologies, materials capability and production processes. Depending on the context, an individual may also use other product-specific technical production skills.
There are no specific licenses that relate to this qualification. However, depending on the jurisdiction, licensing or regulatory requirements may apply to the use of some units in this qualification. Local regulations should be checked for details.
