Question 1

What is NCEA AS 91345 about?

Accepted Answer

This standard asks you to make a textile product (like a garment or fabric item) that has special advanced features, such as a tailored sleeve, embroidered details, or 3D felting. You need to plan your construction steps carefully, test your work as you go to make sure it meets the specifications, and follow health and safety rules throughout the process.

Question 2

What do students need to do for AS 91345?

Accepted Answer

1. Select and plan the specific techniques and construction sequence you'll use to achieve the special features of your product 2. Test your work during construction (through measuring, trialling techniques, fitting, and visual checks) to monitor that the special features are being built correctly 3. Apply your scheduled techniques while following relevant health and safety regulations 4. Demonstrate that your finished product meets the agreed specifications 5. Keep accurate records showing which techniques you used and how you tested your progress

Question 3

What's the difference between Achieved, Merit, and Excellence for AS 91345?

Accepted Answer

Achieved: You implement advanced procedures to make the product with special features, selecting appropriate techniques, testing during construction, and following health and safety rules. Merit: You skilfully implement the procedures with independence and accuracy, executing your planned techniques and tests without needing guidance, showing precise control of advanced skills. Excellence: You efficiently implement the procedures by economising on time, effort, and materials while maintaining quality—completing the work smartly without wasting resources or rushing quality.

Question 4

What mistakes do students typically make in AS 91345?

Accepted Answer

1. Not undertaking enough testing during construction—students skip checks or don't test until the product is finished, missing the chance to catch problems early 2.
