About this qualification
MEM60222 is the most demanding qualification in the jewellery ladder — thirty-six units, more than any other qualification in this directory. The register describes design solutions requiring “a wide range of specialised technical and creative skills”, reflecting “aesthetics, function, production techniques, material characteristics, and marketability”.
That last word marks the step up from the Diploma. Two of the units the register flags as core are creating and manufacturing prototypes for the mass market, and experimenting with designs — this is the level where a piece becomes a product.
It also adds establishing and negotiating a design brief to the core, which is the commercial skill the Diploma leaves out.
Two providers hold it nationally.

Frequently asked questions
- How many core units does it actually have?
- The register is inconsistent on this. Its packaging rules describe thirty-six units made up of the core plus fourteen electives, which implies 22 core units. Its unit grid flags only nine as core. We have listed the nine that are confirmed and flagged the gap rather than guess. Ask any provider for their full core list.
- Advanced Diploma or Diploma?
- MEM50322 is design for commissions and one-off briefs. MEM60222 adds the commercial layer — negotiating design briefs, prototyping for the mass market, and designing with marketability in mind. It is thirty-six units against twenty-six.
- Do I need the Diploma first?
- No. The register records no entry requirements for MEM60222, though the two qualifications share five core units and the Advanced Diploma assumes considerably more capability.
- Can I get MEM60222 through RPL?
- Often, yes, and established designers usually have a portfolio that speaks directly to the units. Whether RPL is offered is decided by each provider.
- What does it cost and how long does it take?
- Both are set by each provider and are not published on the national register.
