Qualification Description

This qualification reflects the role of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people who work in an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Cultural arts context and produce work that shows a well-developed command of technique in their chosen art form.

The outcomes of this qualification apply to work in cultural arts environments within Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities. Individuals at this level usually operate autonomously, however they may provide some leadership and guidance to others with limited responsibility for the output of others.

Practice at this level is underpinned by application of broad and integrated technical and theoretical knowledge and the ability to analyse and use information from different sources. The job roles that relate to this qualification may include Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Jewellery Designer, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Studio Artist, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Glass Artist, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Textile Artist. It also provides a pathway to other Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander arts, craft and design roles.
