Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose faults and repair broadcasting facilities and equipment in a variety of different environments.It applies to individuals who work with minimum supervision to repair faults, undertake routine maintenance and provide general technical support, working on single pieces of equipment and whole studios and systems.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:

broadcasting equipment and facilities

drawings, specifications, supplier manuals and other information relevant to broadcast equipment and systems

industry and regulatory standards.

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