assessment conducted over a period of time to reflect the ongoing monitoring and implementation aspects of the unit
involvement of and interaction with a whole production team to reflect the collaborative nature of the skills in this unit.

Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
evaluation of a particular technical aspect of and event or production for which the candidate has been responsible from planning to realisation
evaluation of reports prepared by the candidate analysing the processes undertaken to realise the technical aspects of a production and identifying key challenges and ways of overcoming those challenges
case studies to assess ability to develop technical approaches for different production situations
problem solving exercises to assess ability to generate solutions to a common range of challenges encountered
review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
