National Occupational Standard for Sound Tuners (I)

The national occupation of sound tuner has different names in different places. For example, it is called "sound engineer" in Beijing, "tuner" in Shanghai, "sound control engineer" in Zhejiang Province, and many places are collectively called "DJ" together with the disc jockeys in discotheques. It is called "sound tuner" in China's occupational skill standards. The following is an excerpt of the national occupational standard for sound tuners, the purpose is to give everyone an accurate understanding of this profession. National

occupational standard excerpt - sound tuner

Formulated by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security of the People's Republic of China

Explanation of the third batch of national occupational standards (Labor and Social Security Department [2002] No. 1)

According to the relevant provisions of the "Labor Law of the People's Republic of China", in order to further improve the national occupational standard system and provide a scientific and standardized basis for vocational education and training, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security organized relevant experts to formulate the "National Occupational Standard for Sound Tuners" (hereinafter referred to as the "Standard").

1. This Standard is based on the Occupational Classification of the People's Republic of China, and aims to objectively reflect the current level of this occupation and the requirements for practitioners. On the basis of fully considering the impact of economic development, scientific and technological progress and changes in industrial structure on occupations, it clearly stipulates the scope of activities, work content, skill requirements and knowledge level of occupations.

2. The formulation of this Standard follows the requirements of relevant technical regulations, which not only ensures the standardization of the style of the Standard, but also reflects the characteristics of being guided by professional activities and centered on professional skills. At the same time, it also makes it flexible and practical to adjust according to scientific and technological development, and meets the needs of training, appraisal and employment.

3. This Standard divides this occupation into five levels according to relevant regulations, including four aspects: occupational profile, basic requirements, work requirements and proportion table.

4. This Standard was completed with the joint efforts of relevant experts and actual workers. The main personnel participating in the compilation and review are: Wang Mingchen, Wang Shiquan, Yu Jikai, Xiong Guoxin, Li Zhengben, Han Xianzhu, Wang Zexiang, Song Jian, Yuan Fang and Liu Xiaoqun. During the formulation of this Standard, we received strong support from the Education Committee of the China Recording Engineers Association and relevant units in Chongqing, Henan, Ningxia, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shanghai and other provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. We would like to express our gratitude here.

V. This Standard has been approved by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and will be implemented from February 11, 2002.

Introduction to the National Standard for Sound Tuners (Iceberg)

The occupation of sound tuners is a type of work determined by the State Administration of Labor and Social Security that requires a certificate to work. The scope of application of the sound tuner type is clearly explained in the standard, namely: "In dance halls, production rooms, music and art performances, venues and other places, use special equipment to control the volume, tone, and timbre of the sound source, as well as sound system design." That is to say, personnel engaged in "tuning" in the above units must pass training and assessment to obtain a job qualification certificate before they can work. The national standard for sound tuners divides this profession into five levels, namely: "primary (national professional qualification level 5), intermediate (national professional qualification level 4), senior (national professional qualification level 3), technician (national professional qualification level 2), and senior technician (national professional qualification level 1). "

This type of work was included in the national question bank development project in December 2001. The Beijing Vocational Skills Certification Center commissioned the Beijing 51st Vocational Skills Certification Institute to organize Beijing sound tuning experts to develop the "question bank". The identification of sound tuners is based on the national occupation (skill) standards, adopts the principle of standard reference test, compiles a detailed list of identification elements, and writes test questions based on the detailed list. At present, the detailed list of the "sound tuner" type of work has been compiled and the test questions are being compiled. There are two types of test questions, one of which is multiple-choice questions. Multiple-choice questions are four-choice questions, for example: The objective evaluation of sound waves by the human ear is called sound. This question is wrong and should be crossed out in the answer.

The professional assessment is based on 60 points as the passing score, and the full score is 100 points. The assessment is divided into theoretical assessment and practical assessment. This set of question bank began to be implemented on a trial basis after October 2002. The textbooks are the two books "Sound Tuner" (primary, intermediate, advanced) Vocational Skills Assessment Textbook and Assessment Guide published by China Labor and Social Security Press, with the book number: ISBN 7-5045-2901-X. The standard also vividly introduces the five levels of assessment scope and assessment weight. Using the assessment standard to study can not only be in line with the actual assessment, but also understand the requirements of each level of the country. Now I introduce the standard to you and believe it will be of great reference value.
