Exams – Part 3

The practical exam is done! Yay!

And it wasn’t even that hard. All we had to do was build a small piece of stage, install four lights and install some audio. The catch was that we had to follow the rules of the Labor Inspection. Things such as lifting with your legs, not with your back. Or carrying certain things with two persons instead of one. They are simple rules but also very simple to forget when you’re on the job.

In total we had four hours to load up the equipment in our studio on the ground floor, transport it all to the first floor, build the stage, break it down and then transport it back to the studio. The timer would be stopped when all of the equipment was back downstairs and everything accounted for. Me and my teammate managed to do the entire assignment in a little under three hours, clocking in at 2 hours and 57 minutes. And that included two small breaks.

Of course this exam was not a race for the best time. We were being graded by our teachers on following Labor Inspection rules, the way we work, neatness, logic and safety. And judging by how little they had to say during and after the exam, I’m assuming for now that we didn’t make any huge mistakes. In fact, we even caught a few mistakes they put in the exam on purpose. More points for us!

The results of the exams so far will be announced next wednesday.
