Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to determine technology requirements, research products, make recommendations and present requirements appropriately on design documentation.This unit applies to interior designers, including kitchen and bathroom designers. They analyse and compare product information from a wide range of different sources to develop a design solution.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
