Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to coordinate infrastructure and facilities for a complex event comprising multiple components, where these do not already exist at a venue or site. It therefore builds on other Events units, such as SITXEVT013A Manage event staging.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
ability to organise and monitor infrastructure for an event in a location with minimal existing facilities and services
knowledge of the issues that specifically impact on the organisation of events in venues without infrastructure, including requirements of relevant authorities, Australian standards and OHS regulations
demonstration of skills through the organisation and monitoring of the infrastructure requirements for at least one event where the candidate plays a key management role.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
access to venues and sites that require infrastructure
access to all equipment required for the staging of a complex event
liaison with and involvement of suppliers and local authorities.
Methods 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 the infrastructure through attendance at an event managed by the candidate
review of documentation used to coordinate infrastructure prepared by the candidate
questioning of contractors to assess the organisational skills of the candidate
case studies to assess candidate's ability to determine infrastructure requirements for different events
questions to assess candidate's knowledge of infrastructure services and terminology
review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
SITXEVT012A Select event venues and sites.
Assessing employability skills
Employability skills are integral to effective performance in the workplace and are broadly consistent across industry sectors. How these skills are applied varies between occupations and qualifications due to the different work functions and contexts.
Employability skills embedded in this unit should be assessed holistically with other relevant units that make up the skill set or qualification and in the context of the job role.
