CUETEM06A
Organise and monitor bump in/bump out

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to oversee the bump in/bump out process for one or more technical aspects of a production. It is very closely linked to the unit CUETEM01B - Co-ordinate production operations with a particular focus on the organisation and transportation of physical production elements. Head technicians or stage management personnel would generally undertake this role.This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to oversee the bump in/bump out process for one or more technical aspects of a production.

case studies and problem solving exercises to assess ability to plan for different operational situations and contexts

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of equipment procedures or safety issues

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Resource requirements

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

a production venue

equipment and materials to be used during the bump in/bump out process.
