| Best for | Checking the scope, entry requirement, district availability, and application path for Sri Lanka's public enterprise-based Tailor training before contacting NAITA | Checking which U.S. alias the current Craft Yarn Council table gives a known metric package size before confirming project gauge | Following interactive patterns with progress tools |
| Know before using | This is a government course listing, not a free tutorial, confirmed intake, guaranteed seat, independent course review, or assessment of trainers, facilities, accessibility, safety, certification, placement, or outcomes. The rendered page currently shows no duration and displays a zero course fee even though the public API marks the course non-free, reports the fee as unspecified, and stores different NVQ 3 and NVQ 4 durations. Do not rely on the displayed zero. Confirm the current level, duration, full cost, district and institution, intake, application status, entry documents, language, timetable, facilities, accessibility, safety, assessment, certificate, and placement directly with NAITA. | The reference is not a dimensional measurement, manufacturer inspection, UK or Canadian conversion, steel-hook chart, tool recommendation, yarn assignment, gauge result, or proof that a proposed tool will produce the required fabric. | Ribblr supplies the reading and publishing format, but each designer remains responsible for the pattern's math, sizing, instructions, testing, corrections, licence, and support. Interactive conveniences do not prove fit or technical accuracy. Pattern prices and available features vary, and following an ePattern depends on an account and continued platform access. |

| What the source establishes | Sri Lanka's National Apprentice and Industrial Training Authority identifies itself as a government vocational-training body established under the Tertiary and Vocational Education Act No. 20 of 1990. Its public Tailor course page lists sewing, cutting, garment design, measurement, fabric selection, patternmaking, stitching, completion of Grade 10, all-district availability, and an application action. The connected public API identifies course code D18S004.3, marks the record active and enterprise-based, stores NVQ 3 and NVQ 4 duration fields, marks the course non-free, reports the course fee as unspecified, and publishes a LKR 1,000 registration fee. | The lookup reproduces the current public Craft Yarn Council metric and U.S. alias rows and follows the Council's warning that company letter and number labels vary; blank aliases remain blank instead of being inferred. | Ribblr's current ePattern manual documents line-by-line progress tracking, size-specific instructions, interactive charts, counters, attached media, stitch tutorials, unit handling, and left-hand display options. Its Ribbuild guidance says designers can create and test interactive crochet, knitting, and sewing patterns inside the platform. |
