Scope Description
Yarn Finishing Operations Operator (Level 2 & Level 3) VQA Vocational Qualification Certification
In the textile industry, preparing yarn for final use or the next processing stage (weaving, knitting, dyeing) is of critical importance. The Yarn Finishing Operations Operator national qualification (Level 2 and Level 3) certifies the competence of personnel involved in the final yarn processes such as winding, plying, twisting, and fixing (heat setting), according to Vocational Qualification Authority (VQA) standards.
At Sönmez Certification, we aim to raise the standards of the skilled workforce in the textile sector by certifying the skills of operators in yarn finishing, focusing on efficiency, quality, and occupational safety.

Benefits of Certification for Employers and Employees:
-
Production Efficiency: The operator's ability to correctly manage machine settings and speeds reduces yarn breaks and ensures continuous production.
-
Product Quality: Guarantees that final processes that directly affect yarn quality—such as bobbin shape, winding tension, and twist value—are performed according to standards.
-
