| Know before using | This is a competency and assessment reference, not an instructional course, pattern file, qualification by reading, provider recommendation, professional license, or proof that a person can perform the work. The route does not establish enrollment availability, teaching quality, fees, support, recognition outside Australia, or product-specific fit. Confirm the current unit status, packaging rules, prerequisites, registered provider, assessment conditions, local requirements, and actual evidence before relying on it. | Public pages explain the organization and calendar, while many classes, meetings, programs, and benefits require registration, payment, or membership. CGOA's statement that it sets a national standard is its own mission language, not evidence that every class, member, chapter, instructor, or portfolio is independently accredited, approved, or suitable for a particular learner. |

| What the source establishes | Australia's National Training Register publishes current unit MSTAT3002, Develop patterns using basic patternmaking principles. The release document describes interpreting textile-product design specifications, considering fabric performance, selecting tools and equipment, developing patterns, testing the result, and making alterations. Release 1 was generated December 22, 2022 and merged two earlier units. Current Australian apparel and live-production qualifications list MSTAT3002, while the current diploma also exposes advanced individual-fit, alteration, and fit-model units. | CGOA's current public pages identify it as a volunteer-led nonprofit and describe online education, in-person and online events, local chapters, mentorship, scholarships, professional programming, and portfolio-based Masters skill-building programs. Its calendar distinguishes specific classes, meetings, retreats, and professional events. |
