Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage construction workshop operations for areas such as set construction, props manufacture and scenic art for productions in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.

At this level, individuals are expected to apply a detailed knowledge of both creative and technical aspects of live productions or events. They exercise autonomy and judgement in contexts that are subject to change and are responsible for coordinating and supervising the work of construction team members.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
