Construction requirements, surface materials, lighting and technology are explored with specific reference to a kitchen/bathroom designed for a client with special needs. Design requirements of a commercial kitchen/bathroom, one in a multi-level dwelling and a laundry are also considered. Students learn and practise drawing detailed plans to ensure clear communication to the production team.
The second part of this qualification focuses on project management and business skills, including marketing and how these can be used effectively in a kitchen/bathroom design business. Management and business skills are taught by distance learning modules run through which JITO supplies to you.
