PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The learner achieving this unit standard in combination with context expertise standard(s) will be able to apply an event administration system which meets the expectations of the organisation. They will demonstrate a basic understanding of an administration system and factors which might influence the integrity of records. They will understand the value of an administration system to the success of an event. Learners competent in event administration will deliver accurate recording and administration of an event.

In addition they will be well positioned to extend their learning and practice into other areas of hospitality or tourism industry, or to strive towards professional standards and practices at higher levels.

Complexity: Under guidance of an event manager.
Scope: Limited to context such as hospitality, corporate meetings and workshops, social life cycle events, sport events, national conferences.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

It is assumed that the learner has workplace communication and workplace numeracy either at NQF 5, or is currently obtaining these standards. The learner should be competent in, or concurrently complete the unit standard "Understand the inter-relatedness of Event Elements".

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

Range statements are described by SAQA as "a general guide to the level, scope and complexity". These are provided in the modifiers under each specific outcome.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Adhere to specifications of proposals, contracts and agreements.

OUTCOME RANGE

Include specifications of contracts and agreements into event documentation such as plans and schedules.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

The assessment of co-ordinators against this standard should meet the requirements of established assessment principles.

It will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools that are appropriate to the contexts in which practitioners are working. These activities and tools may include an appropriate combination of self-assessment and peer assessment; formative and summative assessment; portfolios and observations etc.

The assessment should ensure that all the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge are assessed.

The specific outcomes must be assessed through observation of performance. Supporting evidence should be used to prove competence of specific outcomes only when they are not clearly seen in the actual performance.

Essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in its own right, through oral and written evidence. It cannot be assessed only through seeing the knowledge being applied.

The specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in relation to each other. If a practitioner is able to explain the essential embedded knowledge but is unable to perform the specific outcomes, they should not be assessed as competent. Similarly, if a practitioner is able to perform the specific outcomes but is unable to explain or justify their performance in terms of the essential embedded knowledge, they should not be assessed as competent.

Evidence of the specified critical cross-field outcomes should be found both in performance and in the essential embedded knowledge.

Performance of the specific outcomes must actively affirm target groups of practitioners and not unfairly discriminate against any practitioners. Practitioners should also be able to justify their performance in terms of these values.
