Introduction

The ABC Level 3 Award/Certificate/Diploma in Fashion and Textiles

form part of a suite of qualifications in Fashion and Textiles at

Levels 1, 2 and 3. They are a result of employer feedback

identifying a demand for programmes of learning in particular

specialist areas and the development of technical skills in specific

occupational areas.

Aims


have been developed with the primary aim of enabling learners to

acquire the depth of skills and underpinning knowledge to support

progress into further education/training or employment within the

fashion and textile Industries. Additionally the qualifications support

transfer across specialist sectors within the fashion and textiles

industries. These qualifications are designed to provide the

opportunities for incremental learning. The different size

qualifications add depth and breadth to the specialism being studied

without duplicating the learning covered by each qualification

Target Group


enable 16+ learners to access appropriately sized vocationally

relevant programmes of accredited learning.

ABC expects approved centres to recruit with integrity on the basis

of a learner’s ability to contribute to and successfully complete all

the requirements of a unit/s or the full qualification.

Progression Opportunities

The ABC suite of qualifications in Fashion and Textiles at Levels 1, 2

and 3. provides a flexible range of progression pathways from level

1 through to level 3 offering preparation for entering these roles

within industry and progression with those roles as Pattern Cutters

16

(Manual / CAD), Lay Planners (Manual / CAD), Garment

Technologists, Designers, Sewing Machinists and Tailors.

Successful achievement of the ABC Level 3

Award/Certificate/Diploma in Fashion and Textiles provides an

introduction and a stepping stone to further specific training and

skills development in either apprenticeships or other forms of

further education.

Centres should be aware that reasonable Adjustments which may

be permitted for assessment may in some instances limit a learner’s

progression into the sector. Centres must, therefore, inform

learners of any limits their learning difficulty may impose on future

progression.

Language

These specifications and associated assessment materials are in

English only.

Unit Summary

The key stages and processes involved in designing

are covered in this unit. Learners will explore how

mood boards and trend research are used to inform

and inspire design direction. They will learn how to

analyse this information by sketching and by

translating concepts of form and shape into three-

dimensions. Learners will then develop their

designs systematically and in detail, using a range

of drawing techniques and media. They will

consider design function, suitability and fit. They

will source fabric swatches and trimmings

appropriate to their designs

How to record and develop designs using drawing and application of

colour

Teaching Strategies And Learning Activities

Centres should adopt a delivery approach which supports the development of

their particular learners. The aims and aspirations of all learners, including

those with identified special needs, should be considered and appropriate

support mechanisms put in place.

Learning activities need to be

as practical as possible

relate as closely as possible to the real working environment

Learners will need to be taught the required skills and have time to practise

them prior to assessment. Safe working practices need to be emphasised at

all times.

Visits to places of interest and co-operation with local textile establishments

are recommended.

Methods Of Assessment

21

Internal assessment and internal and external moderation.

Evidence Of Achievement

Learners could demonstrate achievement through assessment tasks

which should be practical wherever possible.

Evidence is not prescribed but may include any or all of the following

A research sketchbook containing notes

Sketches from observation and design detail sketches

Magazine cuttings

Fabric and trimming swatches

Mood / theme board(s)

Design development sheets indicating colour and texture

Product evidence

Observation reports

Oral / Written questions and answers

Reports / Notes / research sketchbook

Worksheets / Workbooks

Photographic evidence

Assignments

Witness statements

Other suitable supplementary evidence

Portfolios must contain the learner’s own work, not an abundance of

tutor handouts

A large proportion of the skills and knowledge criteria can be assessed

through informal observation of the learners in performance of practical

project work.

All aspects of related knowledge, which cannot be assessed through

observation of practical work, could be assessed through oral and written

questioning techniques.

Evidence should be varied, the learner’s own work and naturally generated

22

from the activities undertaken on the course.

It must clearly demonstrate how the learner has met the assessment criteria

for the unit.

Evidence should be clearly cross-referenced to assessment criteria and

portfolio location.

Photographic evidence, articles, handouts etc. must be appropriately

annotated to clearly demonstrate the learner’s role and how it meets the

assessment criteria.

Witness and observation statements should contain the name and status of

the witness / observer and be signed and dated.

Group evidence is admissible where the individual learner’s role is properly

identified or described.

Additional Information

Centres must have appropriate physical resources to successfully implement

the programme including appropriately equipped Workshops, IT facilities and

appropriate information and research sources. Sufficient dedicated access in

key resource areas and an adequate flexible or open access provision in more

specialist areas is required.

This unit could be used as a design basis for other units in this qualification.

All learners must complete a Statement of Authenticity and include it in their

portfolio. The Statement of Authenticity can be found on ABC Awards’

website www.abcawards.co.uk under Fashion.

Learning is built around the completion of a project bringing together a range

of skills and knowledge.

The project should be negotiated with real practitioners where possible and the

learner should be working in a realistic work setting, having to negotiate and

adapt to circumstances as they arise. The final showcase for the work should

involve an appropriate audience.

Skills development with learners may be needed.

Discussion and debate relevant to the project should be encouraged by tutors

and the importance of visual, verbal and written communication skills should

be emphasised as a vital underpinning of the educational experience.


This unit is internally assessed, internally and externally moderated.




Evidence is not prescribed. It could typically include

records of research in appropriate formats, e.g. workbooks, visual and

textual studies, samples, test pieces, models, etc

in depth and wide ranging developmental work in relevant formats, e.g.

preparatory studies, development studies, artefacts, etc

analysis and evaluation, e.g. personal reflective diary, annotations, reports,

records from tutorials / seminars / critiques

This is not an exhaustive list and learners should be encouraged to develop the

most appropriate evidence to demonstrate their achievement of the learning

outcomes and assessment criteria.

Evidence can be presented in electronic format if appropriate.

Appendices

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Exemption and Credit

Transfer

ABC Awards policy enables learners to avoid duplication of learning

and assessment in a number of ways:

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – a method of

assessment that considers whether a learner can

demonstrate that they can meet the assessment

requirements for a unit through knowledge, understanding

or skills they already possess and do not need to develop

through a course of learning.

Exemption - Exemption applies to any certificated achievement

which is deemed to be of equivalent value to a unit within ABC

qualification but which does not necessarily share the exact

learning outcomes and assessment criteria. It is the assessor’s

responsibility, in conjunction with the Internal Moderator, to

map this previous achievement against the assessment

requirements of the ABC qualification to be achieved in order to

determine its equivalence.

Any queries about the relevance of any certificated evidence,

should be referred in the first instance to your centre’s internal

moderator and then to ABC.

It is important to note that there may be restrictions upon a

learner’s ability to claim exemption or credit transfer which will

be dependent upon the currency of the unit/qualification and a

learner’s existing levels of skill or knowledge.

Where past certification only provides evidence that could be

considered for exemption of part of a unit, learners must be able

to offer additional evidence of previous or recent learning to

supplement their evidence of achievement.

Credit Transfer – ABC may attach credit to a qualification, a unit

or a component. Credit transfer is the process of using

certificated credits achieved in one qualification and transferring

that achievement as a valid contribution to the award of another

qualification. Units/Components transferred must share the

same learning outcomes and assessment criteria along with the

same unit number. Assessors must ensure that they review and

verify the evidence through sight of:

o original certificates OR

o copies of certificates that have been signed and dated

by the internal moderator confirming the photocopy is

251

a real copy and make these available for scrutiny by

the External Moderator.

Equivalencies – opportunities to count credits from the unit(s)

from other qualifications or from unit(s) submitted by other

recognised organisations towards the place of mandatory or

optional unit(s) specified in the rule of combination. The unit

must have the same credit value or greater than the unit(s) in

question and be at the same level or higher.

ABC encourages its centres to recognise the previous achievements

of learners through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Exemption,

Credit Transfer and Equivalencies. Prior achievements may have

resulted from past or present employment, previous study or

voluntary activities. Centres should provide advice and guidance to

the learner on what is appropriate evidence and present that

evidence to the external moderator in the usual way.

Further guidance can be found in ‘Delivering and Assessing ABC

Awards Qualifications’ which can be downloaded from

http://www.abcawards.co.uk/centres-grid-page-move/policies-

procedures/

Certification

Learners will be certificated for all units and qualifications that are

achieved and claimed.

ABC’s policies and procedures are available on the ABC website.

Glossary of Terms

GLH (Guided Learning Hours)

GLH is where the learner participates in education or training under

the immediate guidance or supervision of a tutor (or other

appropriate provider of education or training). It may be helpful to

think – ‘Would I need to plan for a member of staff to be present to

give guidance or supervision?’

GLH is calculated at qualification level and not unit/component level.

Examples of Guided Learning include:

Face-to-face meeting with a tutor

Telephone conversation with a tutor

Instant messaging with a tutor

Taking part in a live webinar

Classroom-based instruction

Supervised work

Taking part in a supervised or invigilated assessment

The learner is being observed.

TQT (Total Qualification Time)

‘The number of notional hours which represents an estimate of the

total amount of time that could reasonably be expected to be

required, in order for a learner to achieve and demonstrate the

achievement of the level of attainment necessary for the award of a

qualification.’ The size of a qualification is determined by the TQT.

TQT is made up of the Guided Learning Hours (GLH) plus all other

time taken in preparation, study or any other form of participation

in education or training but not under the direct supervision of a

lecturer, supervisor or tutor.

TQT is calculated at qualification level and not unit/component level.

Examples of unsupervised activities that could contribute to TQT

include:

Researching a topic and writing a report

Watching an instructional online video at home/e-learning

Watching a recorded webinar

Compiling a portfolio in preparation for assessment

Completing an unsupervised practical activity or work

253

Rehearsing a presentation away from the classroom

Practising skills unsupervised
