Curriculum Review & Development: TVET Support Reform Program Pakistan Name of the Course: Jewellery Design & Manufacturing Techniques Overall Objective of the Course The overall objective of this course is to introduce the fundamentals of designing and manufacturing techniques involved in producing high quality, fine jewellery. Its main objective is to develop a well-rounded apprentice who has a clear understanding of the relationship between designing and making and how one process cannot be separated from the other in order to produce high quality work. With time and practice, this apprentice will have the potential to become a “Master Jeweller,” as opposed to a general jewellery worker with limited technical and conceptual skills. Competencies Gained After Completion of the Course Since poor manufacturing can ruin a brilliant design and excellent craftsmanship cannot compensate for weak design, technical skills of making and knowledge of materials is emphasized both in theory and practice. With sufficient knowledge of a range of basic skills to choose from, the student would be in a better position to select and develop skill/skills that best reflects his/ her design sensibilities. From setting up a small independent workshop to further develop and fine tune techniques leant during the course, or choosing one particular skill to specialize in, the course prepares the student to understand designing and manufacturing requirement to solve any technical problems that arise at both the designing and manufacturing levels. After completing the course, the student can go for further specialize in:

1. Filigree 2. Construction Work 3. Pattern making 4. Stone Setting 5. Engraving 6. Plating 7. Alloying Metals 8. Polishing & Finishing 9. Designing

Job Opportunities Available Immediately and in the Future Depending on talent, level of competency gained during the course and private practice, following is a list of immediate and future job possibilities for the candidate:

P a g e | 2

Jewellery Design & Manufacturing Techniques 1. Introduction

Self-employment to improve skills before choosing an area for specialization

Choosing a field to specialize in and work as a Master Jeweller’s apprentice/ junior assistant (entry level in a private workshop)

Entry level worker in a jewellery factory

Entry level assistant in a jewellery design firm (for paint-ups/ 2D rendering or technical drawings for jewellery)

Factory in-house trainee for CAD/CAM Trainee Entry Level:

Candidate should have ideally completed Middle Standard

If Primary, then at least 2 years benchwork experience with a master goldsmith

No age bars applicable for vocational training courses Minimum Qualification of Tutors/ Trainers/ Technical Staff

Extensive work experience in precious metal jewellery and silversmithing

Tutors/ Trainers or Technical Staff should have the ability to communicate and impart technical and conceptual skills

Foreign qualified trainers or local visiting faculty should demonstrate high level of designing, manufacturing or engineering skills

Traditional master jewellers with decades of work experience in a particular technique but no academic background

Medium of Instruction i.e. Language of Instruction

Urdu & English for written work

Urdu, English or Local Languages

Oral instruction/ Demonstration

For foreign visiting faculty, an interpreter can be hired to improve communicate Sequence of Modules:

The course is divided into 18 Modules each with its set of learning units (Theoretical & Practical)

All Technical and conceptual learning skills in the course are designed to create a certain mindset and workflow. The modules cannot be shuffled around or rearranged otherwise the exercise and project sequencing will become ineffective

No Module or its learning units can be attended unless the preceding one has been completed

P a g e | 3

Jewellery Design & Manufacturing Techniques 1. Introduction

Diploma/ Completion Certificate would not we awarded unless all Modules and their respective learning units have been successfully completed

Timeframe of Assessment (recommended) Assessments should be scheduled during modules and at the completion of modules, depending on the exercises assigned

Informal critiques which do not entail grading should be conducted frequently so that students can learn from each other’s mistakes and improve work

Assessment Context

Student Assessments can be:

Formal, Informal, Written and Oral, depending on the module and nature of work/ project assigned.

All module assessments will be graded and documented to award a Diploma/ Certificate to the student.

Grading will be done at the end of each module and the total sum of grades acquired by each student will be calculated to assess the overall proficiency of the student before the Diploma/ Certificate is awarded.

Assessments will be conducted by the instructor supervising the module and in some cases by a panel of Tutors / Instructors or External Examiners.

Student work in all modules must be of a certain quality to qualify for a Diploma/ Certificate.

If a student’s work is not up to a certain standard and the student shows no aptitude for jewellery making, he/ she will be asked to leave the course.

Critical Aspects:

All modules are required to complete the 1 year Jewellery Design & Technology Course and no Diploma/ Certificate will be awarded unless the student fulfills this requirement.

P a g e | 15



The Course has been designed in a sequence so modules cannot be shuffled around as each step leads to the next conceptual and technical development and skill level.

If a module/ modules are missed, a Diploma/ Certificate will not be awarded to the student.

Assessment Condition:

All Module assessment will be carried out in a fair and transparent atmosphere.

The tutor’s / instructor’s/ external examiner’s or the panel’s decision will be final.

All students will receive a written document at the end of each module stating his/her performance in that particular module.

All assessments will be conducted at the parent intuition i.e.: The Lecture Theater/ Examination Hall, Workshop/ Studio, Drawing Studio.
