Van Dyk, Ms V to ask the Minister of Communications
(a) How many Film and Publication Board (FPB) classifiers have been trained through a formal qualification process and (b) at what institution have the specified Film and Publication Board classifiers qualified since 26 May 2014?
Reply:
- There is no formal qualification provided for classifiers. FPB provides informal classifier training in the form of workshops. These are conducted using the services of experts in the different fields- the appeals tribunal and experienced senior classifiers. Training is informal in the form of a workshop which deals in depth with the classification guidelines, applicable legislations including the Constitution. On a quarterly basis, there are refresher classifiers’ training workshops provided which are interactive and allow classifiers to provide operational feedback and challenges experienced in the application of the guidelines and legislation.
- No formal qualification is offered to classifiers.
