  4. CRAOL as a FETAC provider • CRAOL is FETAC Quality Assured which allows CRAOL to assess and accredit FETAC awards in Community Radio. See www.fetac.ie • CRAOL has worked with FETAC to created a basic (LEVEL 4) and more advanced course (LEVEL 5) in Community Radio Broadcasting, which is recognised by FETAC. Stations can also offer other accredited training through CRAOL.

  6. FETAC level 3 Media Expression • The course duration is 31 hours, (with a further 60 hours to be completed, outside of class time, by the learner on their own; see No. 2 below for outline of this element). • These 31 hours break down into two parts, • 21 class contact hours - where the tutor is present and teaching and • 10 additional hours of practice and assessment work - during which, depending on learner profile and needs, the tutor or their assistants are available to supervise or answer queries.

  7. FETAC level 3 Media Expression • Session 1 - Looks at what Media Expression is - invites the learner to look at their own consumption of media and think about how or when they have the opportunity to express themselves through the media. Learners make a short Vox Pop using the portable recorder. • Session 2 - Looks at how the media works - examining what a target audience is, what a programme format is and what features you might find in a programme. Learners also start to become familiar with radio studio equipment by building a basic studio. • Session 3 - Looks in more detail at how a programme is put together - examining various production features and using case study audio to give examples. Also learners learn how to write up a Running Order. • Session 4 - Looks at the studio in more detail - allows learners to get more experience in studio and also introduces the short programme project. Learners work in groups to generate the initial idea for the programme

  8. FETAC level 3 Media Expression • Session 5 - Looks in more detail at the planning of the programme - learners are introduced to good practice in research and organised into their small production teams they begin to plan their production. • Session 6 - Planning the Programme - in their small production teams learners go about creating running orders, work plans and scripts for their programmes. They are also introduced to basic editing techniques and get more experience in studio. • Sessions 7,8 & 9 - Learners work in their groups with the supervision and support of a tutor or tutor's assistant to record their programme and complete their production diary. • Session 10 - Looks at some of the principles of access in Community Radio as they are relevant to media expression. Learners listen to their programmes.

  9. FETAC level 3 Media Expression • Assessment - a Portfolio of 5 pieces comprises 100% of the Assessment for the Course. The pieces for the portfolio are produced, for the most part in class time, with the support of the trainer. As this is a Level 3 course the assessment is carried on a Successful/Unsuccessful format - learners are either deemed to have successfully achieved all learning outcomes or not. There are no grades. The job of the tutor is to direct the learner and support them to get "over the line".
