Purpose
The National Diploma in Industrial Machine Knitting (Level 5) recognises advanced skills
and knowledge that people have achieved in knitted goods manufacture. People who
have achieved this qualification have advanced knowledge of knitting mechanics, design
and structure of knitted goods, control of knitting quality, and are able to investigate and
solve complex mechanical and/or product problems.
Entry to the qualification is open. However, skills are required that can only be developed
by working in the knitting industry. People should not commence training towards this
qualification until access to the necessary facilities and experience is available.
This qualification builds on the skills and knowledge recognised by level 2 and 3 National
Certificates in Industrial Machine Knitting [Refs: 0156, 0838-0840].
Special Notes
Training and assessment in the technical skills will normally take place within a knitting
workplace, complemented by correspondence assignments or block courses.
