Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare video material for television transmission.It applies to individuals who have the technical skills to undertake tasks associated with converting video content to a range of digital formats required for transmission. They also assist with general production activities. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

a television production facility

materials to be prepared for television broadcast

interaction with others.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
