Learning documentation, Mediamatics Technician VET
What belongs in the learning documentation and what the training ordinance requires. We also show how you record your work during the semester.
As a learner in the Mediamatics Technician VET occupation you keep a learning documentation throughout your apprenticeship. It records what you worked on in the company and what you learned doing it. Your vocational trainer reviews it regularly, signs it and discusses it with you.
If you only write your entries at the end of the semester, you have to remember many weeks of work. If you record them as you go, the details are still fresh.
What the training ordinance requires
The obligation is not written into the federal act on vocational and professional education and training, nor into the corresponding federal ordinance. It is set out in the training ordinance of each individual occupation. For the Mediamatics Technician VET occupation, Article 12 states that the learner keeps a learning documentation during the practical training and records all essential work relating to the operational competences to be acquired as it happens. At least once per semester the vocational trainer checks and signs the documentation and discusses it with the learner.
Record your work as you go and show how it relates to the operational competences. For other occupations, check the training ordinance of that occupation.
