This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to design events that are held indoors in established venues, as well as those staged outdoors in locations with little or no infrastructure and amenities.Individuals who apply these skills are expected to display a high level of initiative, judgement and responsibility as they negotiate creative solutions to design briefs with commissioning organisations and other members of design teams.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
