SIT50316 - Diploma of Event Management

This program provides learners with skills and knowledge required to perform event management processes and to coordinate event operations. This qualification provides a pathway to work in event management companies, event venues, or organisations that organise their own events. Work could be undertaken in an office environment where the planning of events takes place on-site at venues, where events are staged, or a combination of both. This qualification reflects the role of individuals who use a broad range of event-related skills and sound knowledge of event management processes to coordinate event operations. They operate independently and make operational event management decisions.

Events are diverse in nature and this qualification provides a pathway to work for event or exhibition organisations operating in a range of industries, including the tourism and travel, hospitality, sport, cultural, and community sectors.

The diversity of employers includes event or exhibition management companies, event venues, or organisations that organise their own events. Work could be undertaken in an office environment where the planning of events takes place, on-site at venues where events are staged or a combination of both.
