QUALIFICATION MATRIX BACKSTAGE TECHNICIAN

The Backstage project aims at enabling young people and staff to participate in a regular process of up-dating skills and engaging in Continuous Professional Development (CPD). CPD is relating to the employee’s role and competences and the strategic needs of the organisation, also enabling the organisation to develop the knowledge and skills it requires to match professional requirements. From a broader perspective CPD complements the more general Continuous Vocational Education and Training (CVET) being an expressed aim of the European policies for education, training and employment, also including Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

With the NEET perspective and the option of work based training, e-learning and RPL assessments, the awarding of certificates for being in compliance with the developed qualification matrix, a valuable contribution is provided to an individual’s career pathway, employment and life long learning.

The knowledge, skills and competencies for the main work tasks for a European Junior Backstage Technician have been described as aggregated units of learning outcomes under the headings listed in the Backstage matrix:

EU-BACKSTAGE -U1  Customer communication, requirements and requests

EU-BACKSTAGE -U2  Planning, calculation and building of scenes

EU-BACKSTAGE -U3  Lighting design and light board operation

EU-BACKSTAGE -U4  Sound system configuration and operation

EU-BACKSTAGE -U5  Special requirements and effects (electronics, video, ICT, pyrotechnics)

EU-BACKSTAGE -U7  Theatre management, logistic and organisation

EU-BACKSTAGE–U8  Transversal soft skills

The compliance with these units of learning outcomes is defining the qualification of a European Junior Backstage Technician and will be awarded with a certification.
