Application
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to manage, promote and negotiate licensing of musical works.
It applies to individuals who promote the use of material in a publisher’s catalogue to prospective clients, and negotiate licensing or assignment of rights agreements with clients who want to use this material for their own purposes, such as screen productions, mood music and mobile phone ringtones. They may work for music publishing companies, or artist managers may perform this role on behalf of artists.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
