ability to correctly use equipment to record and edit source materials for use as audio effects in a live production
knowledge of recording and replay devices.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills through the recording and editing of sound effects for use in a live production
use of industry-current equipment.

Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
evaluation of audio materials compiled/edited by the candidate
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of equipment and techniques
review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
