PREFACE
This Competency Based Training (CBT) curriculum has been developed based on National
Competency Standards for Television Post production Technology (competency standard
code: D32T002) which specifies the skills required by the industry at middle management
level. Middle management level competencies are referred in National Vocational
Qualifications (NVQ) framework at Level 5 & 6. This curriculum is treated as the national
curriculum which facilitates the teaching and learning process in Competency Based
Training (CBT) mode leading to award of NVQ Level 5 & 6 National Diplomas under the
NVQ Framework.
The Curriculum was developed in consultation with relevant industry experts. It was
validated by the National Industry Training Advisory Committee (NITAC) represented by the
industry and subsequently endorsed by the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission
(TVEC). It is expected to review and revise this document on completion of 3 years.
Therefore, all stakeholders are welcome to point out any shortcomings and propose
improvements to this curriculum in order to make it more relevant to the industry.
For the purpose of implementation of these curricula, training providers are welcome to
adopt it with TVEC accreditation and Competency Based Assessment.
We take this opportunity to thank Hon. Dullas Alahapperuma, Minister of Youth Affairs and
