Occupational Profile
The AV Technician Tier 5 apprenticeship is ideal for students working in the commercial, professional and events sectors.
This is the AV industry’s highest academically recognised qualification.
Training is delivered through a combination of group or cohort sessions and one-to-one monthly workshops. These are delivered online and in person at industry venues.
Each student is assigned work-based training tasks which are journalled and reviewed periodically.
Once all Knowledge, Skills and Behaviour (KSB) modules are completed, students are assessed independently by an approved End-Point Assessment Organisation.
Students are awarded one of the following grades:
- Pass
- Merit
- Distinction
As this is an academically recognised qualification, students can also potentially fail.
Course Overview and Structure
The apprenticeship comprises the following:
- 31 Knowledge modules
- 16 Skills
- 7 Behaviours
The course is delivered by Ofsted approved training providers, Career Crafters.
Teaching is carried out in person by AV industry founder Vincent McAtamney, who has a 30 year career in the audio visual industry.
This approach goes beyond traditional classroom-based training, with close collaboration between training provider and employer to tailor the course where possible to each student.
