In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
Learners credited with this unit standard are able to develop designs for a range of marketable craft products.
This unit standard contributes to the competence of those who want to develop a career path in the Art, Craft and Design sector, and contributes to greater levels of production and quality in this industry. If learners are competent in this unit standard where they can develop a range of craft products then the general creativity, production quality, and marketing of craft products will improve and increase.

Learners credited with this unit standard are capable of:
  • Interpreting, identifying and applying design components of prototypes.
  • Developing marketable ranges of craft products.
  • Assessing craft product ranges. 
    		•

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    It is recommended that the learner has completed the NQF level 2 National Certificate in Craft Production or equivalent with competencies in producing a craft product. 

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    Range statements are included in the unit standard where relevant.

    Presentations communicated the design briefs or concepts. 
    ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE 
    Presentation of design can be written, renderings or visual images and recordings.
     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 7 
    Housekeeping and safety procedures in the context of craft production were adhered to. 
    ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE 
    Housekeeping refers to optimising the use of resources, record keeping, hygiene, health and safety.
     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 8 
    Environmental sustainability criteria were considered during the development of craft product range. 
    ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE 
    Environment refers to national, social, political, legal and economical resources.
     

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3 
    Assess craft product ranges. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    Craft product ranges were designed cost effectively. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 
    Appropriate material, tools and equipment were selected according to original craft product designs. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 
    Prototype product design specifications were identified and correctly followed. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 
    Craft product ranges were designed according to marketable trends. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 
    Craft product ranges were produced with no defects.
