Assessment and completion

VALIDATION

During the guidance process the candidate prepares a portfolio, which is evaluated by a committee. If the candidate has submitted authentic, valid and relevant proof of knowledge, skills and competences from the operational standard, the committee may:

  • validate the contents of the occupational standard in full,
  • validate the contents of the occupational standard in part and define the knowledge, skills and competence to be verified,
  • refuse to validate any of the contents of the occupational standard because the candidate has not provided proof of any of the knowledge, skills and competences under the occupational standard, in which case it will verify the occupational standard in full.

ASSESSMENT METHOD

The candidate prepares and then, as part of the assessment, defends a professional assignment, in which she/he describes the individual elements of the work of a cameraman/woman. They also attach to their professional assignment an AV-product in which they took part, in an appropriate format and on an appropriate medium (DVD, USB; electronic portal, etc.). The professional assignment includes:

  • The preparation of the recording plan,
  • The explanation of the choice of video recording and telecommunications equipment,
  • How the rules on occupational health and safety and on fire prevention were adhered to during his/her work;
  • The cameraman/camerawoman’s/candidate’s contribution to the visualisation of the AV work that he/she took part in.
