Issue Date: April 2024
A head technician, technical manager or workshop manager would generally undertake this role.
This unit has linkages to a range of other technical and management units and combined assessment and/or training with those units is recommended, e.g.:
CUETEM01C Coordinate production operations
CUEFIN02C Manage a budget
CUESET11B Develop set construction plans to meet design requirements.
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to establish and manage resources and other requirements for a particular production area. It builds on the skills found in the unit CUETEM01C Coordinate production operations.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: effective communication with artistic staff, senior management, peers and subordinates ability to develop options for different production requirements and constraints extensive knowledge of specialist area, particularly in the area of resource acquisition and management. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the establishment and management of technical requirements for more than one production or event 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. |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: venue where a production can be staged equipment and materials relevant to the production area. |

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Production resources and requirements may relate to: | audio audiovisual lighting props scenic art sets special effects stage management |
Appropriate personnel may include: | designers directors production managers other technical specialists |
Production documentation/models may include: | designs drawings models plans production notes script |
Decisions on most appropriate implementation method/s may take account of factors, including: | budget constraints time venue other company resource restrictions or safety considerations |
Resource requirements may include: | equipment facilities labour materials |
Resources may be acquired through: | acquiring necessary licences and approvals, e.g. firearms licence borrowing contra-deals hiring purchasing renting |

Financial procedures may include: | establishing cheques and petty cash arrangements establishing paperwork requirements, e.g. purchase orders, requisitions, record keeping, invoices quotes and estimates implementing appropriate delegation and accountability arrangements |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
