Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required by performers to gain an understanding of behavioural principles and develop strategies to help cope with performance anxiety and other aspects of working in a competitive environment.

Developing strategies to resolve performance issues is a largely self-directed activity but may involve some mentored guidance.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
