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

written or oral questioning to assess detailed knowledge of the operational issues to be addressed for a multivenue event

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the individual

Guidance information for assessment
