Scope Description
Pre-Yarn Operator (Level 3) VQA Vocational Qualification Certification
The Pre-Yarn process is the critical stage where fiber is cleaned, opened, blended, carded, and drafted, forming the foundation of yarn quality. The Pre-Yarn Operator (Level 3) national qualification certifies the competence of skilled personnel who can operate these machines (Blow Room, Carding, Drawing, Combing, and Roving Frames) effectively, safely, and in compliance with quality standards, under the assurance of the Vocational Qualification Authority (VQA).
At Sönmez Certification, we support enhancing the quality of the textile sector's fundamental input by certifying the expertise of employees in fiber preparation processes, focusing on machine setting, process monitoring, quality control, and troubleshooting.
Core Competencies and Qualification Units:
The Pre-Yarn Operator certificate requires the candidate to succeed in mandatory units and elective units that specify their area of professional expertise:
| Unit Code | Unit Name | Scope | Level | Mandatory Status |
