Qualification Description
This qualification reflects the role of individuals who work in product design–related and manufacturing or custom-made furniture roles in furniture or similar organisations where a combination of technical, creative, practical, research and project coordination skills is required. At this level, these individuals use knowledge of design principles and concepts in a practical way to drive design process, materials capability and production processes to develop and create product and process solutions in response to varied design briefs. 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.
