| 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. | Free access does not grant commercial reproduction or sale rights; uses beyond one personal copy must be resolved with the designer or author. Knitty says it tries to avoid errors but disclaims responsibility for pattern and technique inaccuracies. Check the live page for corrections, verify gauge and measurements, and confirm permission before any commercial use. | Supplier content, uploaded certificates, and AI suggestions are leads, not independent verification. Public brand pricing and full access are not stated on the main page. Verify material identity and performance, certificate issuer and validity, supplier capability, samples, price, availability, commercial terms, data permissions, and any AI output before a sourcing decision. |

| 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. | Knitty currently publishes web-only editorial issues containing original knitting and crochet patterns and articles. Its legal page states that patterns are free for one person's personal use, identifies each designer or author as the copyright holder, and explains that verified pattern corrections are posted in bright pink on the pattern page. | Material Exchange's current terms describe a business-to-business sourcing hub that connects brands and suppliers for AI-assisted material discovery, sample requests, bulk inquiries, negotiation, and collaboration. Suppliers upload product descriptions, availability, pricing, and certificates. The terms state that the platform cannot verify certificate accuracy and that AI results may be imperfect. |
