Already working as a multimedia graphic designer or in fashion, screen and media? You may not need to start from scratch. A partner registered training organisation can assess the skills you already have against this nationally recognised qualification.
Overview
The CUA41220 Certificate IV in Screen and Media is a nationally recognised certificate at AQF Level 4, from the Creative Arts and Culture Training Package.
If you already work in fashion, screen and media, your experience may count towards it. Instead of repeating training on tasks you already do, you show evidence of your skills, and qualified assessors at a partner RTO check it against the qualification's requirements.
Future Sync helps you work out whether it suits your experience, build your evidence file and prepare for the assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get the Certificate IV in Screen and Media with my work experience?
Possibly. If you already do the work this qualification covers, a partner registered training organisation (RTO) can assess your existing skills against its requirements. If your evidence meets them, the RTO can issue the qualification without you completing the full course. Future Sync helps you check the fit and prepare your evidence.
What evidence will I need?
Usually proof of identity, proof of employment such as reference letters and payslips, and proof of skill such as photos or videos of your work. For fashion, screen and media, people often use: portfolios and photos of work, client or employer references, project briefs, invoices or payslips. The RTO decides the final requirements.
Is it the same qualification as completing the course?
Yes. The CUA41220 Certificate IV in Screen and Media issued by an RTO after assessing your existing skills is the same nationally recognised qualification that students receive after completing the course.
Do I need to attend classes?
Usually not, or only briefly. You are assessed on what you can already do. If the assessor finds gaps, you may need to provide more evidence, complete assessment tasks or do gap training for those parts only.
