### Best for

Teachers and learners planning a structured school-based progression in practical textile skills, product design, materials, and production processes

### What the source establishes

The NSW Department of Education's current Technology 7-8 page describes approximately 20 weeks of adaptable 60-minute lesson sequences for practical textile skills, product design, materials, and production processes. It exposes a program of learning, teacher resource, two sample assessments, and a slide deck. The page records a January 22, 2026 update, and both the page and direct program document returned successfully during review.

### Know before using

This is a teacher-led NSW secondary-school resource, not an adult self-guided course, professional qualification, current equipment or safety manual, factory production specification, universal sewing method, or proof of product fitness. Large DOCX and PPTX files require compatible software and may create accessibility barriers. Confirm current machine instructions, supervision, measurements, material behavior, syllabus requirements, and project-specific safety independently.

### Best for

Structured wool education

### What the source establishes

The current Woolmark Learning Centre library publishes free account-based coursework with module counts, completion times, progress tracking, knowledge checks, and supporting resources. Its wool programs cover fibre science, raw-wool and yarn processing, dyeing and finishing, woven textiles, knitwear, product quality, and wastewater management for learners and facilitators.

### Know before using

This is Woolmark-operated education focused on wool, not a neutral comparison of all fibres or processing systems. A completion badge records coursework, not independent proof of production competence, product performance, environmental impact, or compliance. Confirm technical values and local requirements against current standards before production use.

## Next checks

1. Remove any route whose audience, jurisdiction, access, or scope does not match the job.
2. Open the permanent record and source page for every remaining route.
3. Recheck facts that can change after the listed review date.
4. Verify project-specific capability, terms, test evidence, and legal requirements with the responsible source or provider.
5. Record the reason for the final choice outside Stitch Authority.
