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 he/she defines, analyses and evaluates every phase of the work of an assistant director based on the selected AV-project. The candidate attaches to the said professional assignment a sample of the selected AV-project that he/she took part in, in an appropriate format and on an appropriate medium (DVD, USB; electronic portal, etc.).

The professional assignment includes the following three elements (see the detailed description in item 11 of this catalogue):

  • Preparation for the implementation of the project
  • The notes made, and the care taken to ensure continuity;
  • Implementation of production processes.

Condition for obtaining certificate

Candidates demonstrate attainment of the knowledge, skills and competences defined in the catalogue of standards of vocational knowledge and skills.
