Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to process attendee registrations for events and administer them through to finalisation, and to prepare event registration materials and set-up and process on-site event registrations.

This unit is relevant to events coordinated in many industry contexts, including the tourism, hospitality, sport, cultural and community sectors.

It applies to event operations personnel who operate with some level of independence and under limited supervision. They may work in event management companies, in event venues, or in organisations that organise their own events.
