Year 10’s that choose this subject will be committing to completing the subject for the entire year.
This qualification reflects the role of individuals who use basic skills and knowledge for work in skilled assistant or skilled assistant operator roles in the screen, media and entertainment industries.
The job roles that relate to this qualification may include editing assistant, assistant content creator, assistant sound technician, assistant audio visual technician, assistant radio producer, podcast producer, community radio producer, community radio presenter, junior animator, camera assistant and technical production assistant.
The Certificate III in Screen and Media is offered as a two-year qualification. At Year 10, the first year of the CDM course is offered, with students progressing to the second year of the course at Year 11. It is therefore a two-year commitment.
At Year 12, students may then be offered the opportunity to progress to the CUA41220 Certificate IV in Screen and Media. Because of the significant overlap in units completed, it is expected that students will complete this qualification in one year. Students can then progress to higher-level qualifications (such as the Diploma of Screen and Media) at TAFE, or University courses in Screen and Media.
