Unit 10: Developing Audio
Production
Unit reference number: T/601/2174
QCF level: 1
Credit value: 4
Guided learning hours: 40
Unit aim
The aim of this unit is to give learners basic knowledge of different audio products,
sound recording techniques and technology and the skills to enable them to produce
an audio product.
Unit introduction
The term ‘audio production’ encompasses a wide variety of production activity,
whether recording a local band’s demo tape, community radio, podcasting or
programmes on national radio.
Learners should develop a basic understanding of sound recording through
investigation and experimentation. While learners will develop a basic understanding
of various styles, techniques and technologies, they will also gain a basic
understanding of broadcast audio production. In creating their own audio product
learners will develop basic skills in sound recording, editing and mixing.

Unit 11: Audio and Video Editing
Unit reference number: A/505/1502
QCF level: 1
Credit value: 4
Guided learning hours: 40
Unit aim
The aim of this unit is to introduce learners to the knowledge and skills needed for
editing and can be applied to audio/visual, and audio or visual-based production
work.
Unit introduction
Editing techniques can be applied to audio or visual production work. Learners will
develop their knowledge of when and why editing is carried out and will generate
ideas for editing by collecting information and planning to edit materials. Learners
will then follow their plan to edit the materials and will review their work by collecting
feedback and reviewing aspects that went well and aspects that could be improved.
Much professional editing is now undertaken using digital systems and it is likely that
the production work for this unit will take place using digital systems. However,
learners should have an awareness of both traditional and digital techniques and this
unit does not preclude the use of traditional editing equipment for production work.
