Underpinning skills and knowledge
Assessment must include evidence of essential knowledge of, and skills in, the following areas:
industry information sources
technology information sources
cultural information sources
basic research skills:
identification of relevant information
techniques to obtain information
sorting and summarising information
legislation (both state and federal) which applies across the industry in the following areas:
consumer protection
duty of care
equal employment opportunity
anti-discrimination
workplace relations
the function of relevant industry organisations
Linkages to other units
This is a core unit that underpins effective performance in all other film, television, radio and multimedia units. It is recommended that this unit is delivered/assessed in conjunction with other operational and technical units.
Critical aspects of evidence
This unit of competence applies to a range of industries, ie. film, television, radio and multimedia. The focus of assessment will depend on the industry involved. Assessment must be customised to meet the needs of the particular industry and industry sector in which performance is being assessed. Assessment should only address those variable circumstances, listed in the range of variables statements, which apply to the chosen context.
Care should be taken in developing training to meet the requirements of this unit. The specific focus of training will depend upon the industry involved, for example, the film and television, radio or multimedia industry sectors. For generic pre-vocational training, organisations should provide training which is tailored to meet the needs of the particular industry. It is intended that participants will gain a breadth of industry knowledge, encompassing the full range of industry contexts, with no bias towards individual industry specialisations.
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
ability to source industry information
general knowledge of the industry, including main roles, functions and inter-relationships of different sectors, with a more detailed knowledge of issues which relate to a specific sector or workplace
Method and context of assessment
Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
role play
case studies
work samples or simulated workplace activities
oral questioning/interview
projects/reports/logbooks
third party reports and authenticated prior achievements
portfolios of evidence
Resource requirements
Assessment requires access to a range of relevant and current industry information materials listed in the range of variables statement.
Workplace based assessment should use a range of materials current and relevant to that workplace environment.
Simulated workplace activities must be undertaken using a range of relevant and current material appropriate for the industry sector.
