Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
develop operational plans for multi-venue events involving:
comprehensive event plans
dedicated event budgets
formal communications plans
multiple operational components
an event operations team
a wide range of stakeholders
develop plans for multiple and diverse multi-venue events
liaise with event stakeholders during the planning process
select an appropriate set of venues for a multi-venue event
integrate knowledge of:
implications of multievent operations and ways to address these
inter-venue communication options
risk management issues associated with the use of multiple venues for an event.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure use of:
actual multi-venue events for which plans are developed. Events may be created for the specific purpose of skills assessment, but must still meet the requirements outlined under Critical aspects of assessment, and have commercial, community or business relevance. Small personal events are not appropriate as a means of assessing an individual’s skills and knowledge
multiple venues and sites where events are operated; these can be:
real event venues and sites
event venues and sites operated within a training organisation such as auditoria, exhibition areas, conference rooms, restaurants and sporting facilities where real events are staged
comprehensive event plans
dedicated event budgets
formal communications plans
current industry documentation and publications relating to venues and sites
venue personnel whom operational and communication strategies and procedures can be established
event stakeholders with whom the individual consults.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
evaluation of plans and procedures developed by the individual to address multi-venue operations
use of case studies to assess individual’s ability to address multi-venue considerations for a range of different events
written or oral questioning to assess detailed knowledge of the operational issues to be addressed for a multi-venue event
review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the individual.
Guidance information for assessment
The assessor should design integrated assessment activities to holistically assess this unit with other units relevant to the industry sector, organisation and job role, for example:
SITXEVT502 Select event venues and sites
SITXEVT503 Manage event staging components.
