1. INTRODUCTION
A knitting machine operator is responsible for operating the machines according to knit fabrics and other articles
according to yarns such as cotton, wool, nylon and rayon etc. he must be able to set up the creels and install yarn to the
machine(s) for further operation. He must also be able to identify the technical discrepancies, if any and fix them for
smooth operations. He should be involved in maintenance of the equipment e.g. oiling and cleaning of the machinery.

1.2 Duration of the course:
The proposed curriculum is composed of 05 modules that will be covered in 760 hrs. It is proposed that the course may
be delivered in a six months period (Five days a week).Training can also be scheduled on part time bases or in the
evening classes. The distribution of contact hours is given below:
Total 760 hrs
Theory 152hrs (20%)
Practical 608hrs (80%)
Acquire the operating skill and knowledge of Knitting Machine Operator along with minor maintenance of
machine.
Produce skilled manpower for Knitted Garments/ Hosiery Industry.

Improve the level of skill of workers in industry and increase the economic potential of the country.
Provide industry with skilled workers whose scope with job knowledge and skills are identified.
Assist in human resources development by providing precise and assessed country’s skilled manpower
quantitatively, as well as qualitatively.
Provide technical and vocational training which reflects the requirements of industry.
The main aim of training providers is to develop work related skills and competency through comprehensive action
orientation. This includes the willingness and ability of a student to act appropriately and professionally in different
situations at work. The willingness and ability of students depends largely on the teacher’s skills to perform goal-
oriented tasks. This can be achieved by putting their technical knowledge and skills to use by developing a program of
practical assessment that reflects learning outcomes given in the curriculum. The trainer will also support students in
developing personal characteristics such as self reliance, reliability, responsibility, group sense and the ability to lead.

4. ASSESSMENT GUIDE:
Good assessment practices should be adopted for Sessional and Final assessments. Such practices by vocational training providers
during Sessional and final assessments will form the basis of qualifying the trainees.
Assessors need to devise Sessional assessments for both theoretical and practical work. Guidance is provided in the assessment
strategy.
Final assessment is the assessment, usually carried out on completion of a course or module. This determines whether or not the
student has "passed". It is - or should be - undertaken with reference to all the objectives or outcomes of the course, and is often fairly
formal. Considerations of security - ensuring that the student who gets the credit is the person who did the work - assume considerable
importance in final assessment.
Indirect assessment shall be used where the performance could not be watched and evidence is gained indirectly.
Examples for indirect assessment of knitting machine operator will include:
Make knit fabric with different types of stitches as per sample.
Set up machine according to design and maintain neatness.
Installation of machines.
Storage of tools, equipments and material, the methods adopted to store products.
Indirect assessment should only be a second choice. (In some cases, it may not even be guaranteed that the work products were
produced by the person being assessed).
33
Validity means that a valid assessment is carried out to assess a certain task. For example, if the ability to make knit fabric is to be
assessed and certified, the assessment should involve performance criteria that are directly related to knit fabric making.
Reliability means that the assessment is consistent. For example, if the performance in making of knit fabrics and method adapted to
make knit fabric assessed, another assessor (e.g., the future employer) should be able to see the same work performance and witness
the same level of achievement.
Flexibility means that the assessor has to be flexible concerning the assessment approach. For example, if there is a power failure
during the assessment, the assessor should modify the arrangements to accommodate the students' needs.

4.5 Suggestions for Sessional assessment
The Sessional assessment for all modules shall be in two parts: theoretical assessment and practical assessment. The Sessional marks
shall contribute to the final qualification. Theoretical assessment for all learning modules must consist of a written paper lasting at least
one hour per module. This can be a combination of multiple choice and short answer questions. For practical assessment, all procedures
and methods for the modules must be assessed on a Sessional basis. Guidance is provided under the title planning for assessment.
