Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce and edit digital images using a range of digital media technologies.It applies to individuals who possess sound knowledge of digital media, who may provide support within a team or who may be independently responsible for producing editing, enhancing and manipulating digital images.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.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the digital media field of work, and include access to:

special purpose tools and equipment

materials and industry software packages

a digital camera

industry standard graphics software

copyright information.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
