Unit of Competency ICTTEN206 - Operate new media software packages
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce a media design through selection and appraisal of media software tools, assessment and manipulation of software functions and the use and creation of graphics and editing media files.It applies to individuals who want an introduction to the use of media software packages and may eventually lead to employment in graphic design, industrial design, or production of promotional and marketing media material.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 should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications network engineering field of work and include access to:

work stations with appropriate software tools

media capable PCs

peripheral media equipment with HD capability

LAN with media server

internet access.

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