HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING MATERIAL

Welcome to the module in “Developing Event Program”.

This module contains training materials and activities for you to
complete.

The unit of competency “Develop Event Program “covers the

knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to configure computer systems
and networks. It is one of the specialized modules required to complete
the course Events Management NC III

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to

complete each learning outcome of the module. Each learning outcomes is
provided with Information Sheets (Reference Materials for further reading
to help you better understand the required activities). Follow these
activities on your own and answer the self-check at the end of each
learning outcome. You may remove a blank answer sheet at the end of each
module (or get one from your facilitator/trainer) to write your answers for
each self-check. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your facilitator
for assistance.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills
covered in this learner's guide because you have:
 been working for some time
 already completed training in this area.

If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a

particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally
recognized so you don't have to do the same training again. If you have a
qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous trainings, show it
to your trainer. If the skills you acquired are still current and relevant to
the unit/s of competency they may become part of the evidence you can
present for RPL. If you are not sure about the currency of your skills,
discuss this with your trainer.

absorb blood in ancient arenas like the Colosseumin Rome.[1] It is
composed of a large open space surrounded on most or all sides by tiered
seating for spectators. The key feature of an arena is that the event space
is the lowest point, allowing for maximum visibility. Usually, an arena is
designed to accommodate a fairly large number of spectators.

assessing needs, in the planning and prioritization of services in order to
give users what they want, while targeting resources in those areas of
greatest need,

DESIGNING THE EVENT PROGRAM

Learning Objectives : after reading this information sheets the trainees
will able to:
1. Develop theme to complement event objectives

2. Design an event program

HOW TO DESIGN AN EVENT PROGRAM

1. Decide if you will choose from a wide variety of online program templates
or design your own. If designing your own, use programs like Adobe
InDesign or Microsoft Office that will allow you to develop a layout.
Choose the paper size, 8.5-by-11-inch, a common letter size, in your
program to begin your design.

2. 2.Choose the type of event program you will use. Event programs are
often a letter size paper folded in half, much like a greeting card, or a
letter size paper cut down the center, making two flat-sheet programs. If
you plan on including a lot of text, use the greeting card style. If you have
little text, try a flat sheet. Set up your columns or text boxes accordingly.

EVENTS MANAGEMENT
PSP TECHNOLOGICAL SERVICES NC III Page 37 of 45
INSTITUTE,INC.
Developing An Event Program
 1. Choose a design and colors. Gain inspiration by looking at online
template designs or simply buy a design you love. Depending on the site,
designs can be purchased or downloaded for free. Choose elements that
carry out the theme of the event. For a modern event, unevenly stack
blocks and choose shades of gray and blue or gray and orange. For a
formal event, incorporate scroll shapes in your design and embrace the
trio of black, white and red. If you sent out invitations, try to match the
program to the invitation design.

4 . Write your text. The purpose of a program is to let your audience know a
little bit about your event. Do so by writing the sequence of events that will
take place throughout the night. In one column write the events and in a
coordinating column write who will be speaking, leading or performing in
each segment. If space allows, write an "about" section. Mention key
guests, the reason for your event, information about your organization or
about the organization the event is benefiting. If none of these apply,
include a poem or short verse.

5. Add an image. If your design allows, choose an image for the cover page
of your program or place at the very top of your program. Images add a
personal touch and an interesting aspect to your design. Use images that
represent the purpose of your event. For weddings, use pictures from your
personal collection of musical instruments of the happy couple. For an
artistic performance, buy or download free images from stock photography
websites . Consider transforming your chosen image into a black and
white, with the utilization of Adobe Photoshop or a basic computer photo
program.

EVENTS MANAGEMENT
PSP TECHNOLOGICAL SERVICES NC III Page 38 of 45
INSTITUTE,INC.
Developing An Event Program
 6 . Choose a format. For ideas, follow the general idea of using the
front page for the title and date of your event, right inside, for the
sequence of events, and left inside, for extra information. For a flat
sheet, place the title and date of your event at the top of the page, list
the sequence of events underneath and a small bit of information at the
bottom. Follow a design rule and create a visual hierarchy, going from
big elements to small. Create one focal point and balance other elements
around that point.

7 . Print or order your design to be printed. If you are printing your

design, opt for a heavier weight paper. For a natural look, use a matte
paper; for a formal occasion, try a high gloss paper. Both can be found
at your local paper store.

simply buy a design you love. Depending on the site, designs can be purchased or
downloaded for free. Choose elements that carry out the theme of the event. For a modern
event, unevenly stack blocks and choose shades of gray and blue or gray and orange. For
a formal event, incorporate scroll shapes in your design and embrace the trio of black,
white and red. If you sent out invitations, try to match the program to the
invitation design.Fourth, write your text. The purpose of a program is
to let your audience know a little bit about your event. Do so by writing the sequence of
events that will take place throughout the night. In one column write the events and in a
coordinating column write who will be speaking, leading or performing in each segment.
If space allows, write an
"about" section. Mention key guests, the reason for your event, information about your
organization or about the organization the event is benefiting. If none of these apply,
include a poem or short verse. Fifth,
add an image. If your design allows, choose an image for the cover page
of your program or place at the very top of your program. Images add a personal touch
and an interesting aspect to your design. Use images that represent the purpose of your
event. For weddings, use pictures from your personal collection of musical instruments
of the happy couple. For an artistic performance, buy or download free images from stock
photography websites . Consider transforming your chosen image into a
black and white, with the utilization of Adobe Photoshop or a basic computer photo
program. Sixth, choose a format. For ideas, follow the general idea of using the front page
for the title and date of your event, right inside, for the sequence of events, and
left inside, for extra
information. For a flat sheet, place the title and date of your event at the top of the page,
list the sequence of events underneath and a small bit of information at the bottom.
Follow a design rule and create a visual
hierarchy, going from big elements to small. Create one focal point and balance other
elements around that pointand lastly, print or order your design to be printed. If you are
printing your design, opt for a heavier weight paper. For a natural look, use a matte
paper; for a formal
occasion, try a high gloss paper. Both can be found at your local paper store.
