sound amplification
lighting
rigging
live entertainment
registration areas
display
security
electronic media coverage of events
safety equipment.
the key inclusions for contractor briefing or specification documents.
Linkages to Other Units
This unit has very strong linkages to other event management units and combined training and assessment is recommended with units such as:
THTFME04A Develop an event concept
THTFME05A Select event venues and sites
Critical Aspects of Assessment
Evidence of the following is critical:
general knowledge of all event staging services and terminology as detailed under Essential Skills and Knowledge
ability to organise and co-ordinate multiple contractors as part of the overall event management process.
Context of Assessment and Resource Implications
Assessment must ensure:
management of the staging of an indoor event comprising multiple components
access to venues for staging of an indoor event
access to all equipment required for the staging of an event
liaison with and involvement of multiple contractors.
