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!

SITXEVT603 - Determine event feasibility

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

Analyse event context and rationale.

  1. Confirm event rationale and objectives through consultation with key stakeholders and evaluation of event concept information.
  2. Determine the place of the proposed event in relation to other events and its economic, environmental and social sustainability.
  3. Assess the marketability of the proposed event through research and consultation.
  4. Evaluate internal and external factors that impact on the viability of the proposed event.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Evidence of the ability to:

develop and present a detailed feasibility analysis that includes substantiated positions and recommendations for at least one event concept that involves the need for:

comprehensive event plans

dedicated event budgets

formal communications plans

multiple operational components

an event operations team

a wide range of stakeholders

integrate knowledge of:

current and emerging event industry trends across areas of planning, management and operations

internal and external factors that impact on event feasibility

resource requirements for the overall staging of events, and for specific event components.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure use of:

a real event concept on which to base the feasibility analysis. Event concepts may be created for the specific purpose of skills assessment, but must still meet the requirements outlined under Critical aspects of assessment, and have commercial, community or business relevance. Small personal events are not appropriate as a means of assessing an individual’s skills and knowledge

event stakeholders with whom the individual interacts

current industry data and information sources to inform the feasibility analysis.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

evaluation of feasibility studies prepared by the individual

oral or written questioning to assess depth of individual’s event industry knowledge

review of portfolios of evidence and thirdparty workplace reports of onthejob performance by the individual.

Guidance information for assessment

The assessor should design integrated assessment activities to holistically assess this unit with other units relevant to the industry sector, organisation and job role, for example:

SITXEVT602 Develop event concepts

SITXEVT604 Develop and implement event management plans.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to consult and liaise with stakeholders on strategic event management proposals and issues

analyse complex event information

articulate complex arguments, scenarios and recommendations

numeracy skills to estimate costs and develop different budgetary scenarios and models

planning and organising skills to provide recommendations for cohesive event planning and management

problem-solving skills to develop strategic positions and recommendations in response to complex event management and operational challenges.

Required knowledge

features and formats or a wide range of event types

internal and external factors that impact on event feasibility and affect its management and operation

resource requirements for the overall staging of complex events, and for specific event components

sources of potential revenue for different types of event
