GCE in Media: Communication and Production

Practical Skills Audit

Over the year you will learn a variety of practical skills as well as develop the skills you already have.
These skills need to be recorded and evidenced throughout. Many of these skills you will learn in Unit 2
but will also develop in Unit 3. Make sure you record your skills in these audits and state the evidence of
where they can be found.
