Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

CUASOU501 - Manage audio operations for outdoor events

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan audio for outdoor events

  1. Determine audio requirements in consultation with relevant personnel and with reference to production documentation
  2. Review regulations that affect the design of outdoor audio systems, with particular reference to noise pollution and insurance requirements
  3. Assess venues or sites to determine specific factors to consider when setting up outdoor audio systems, and plan for contingencies
  4. Record site information in an appropriate format to assist with system design
  5. Develop audio system specifications which take full account of power issues, loudspeaker requirements and sound pressure factors
  6. Develop schedules of outdoor audio system requirements, with specific reference to additional infrastructure and equipment requirements
  7. Reach agreement on final configuration of outdoor audio systems, allowing adequate time for installation and testing prior to events
