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.

At the end of this module is a Learner’s Diary. Use this diary to

record important dates, jobs undertaken and other workplace events that
will assist you in providing further details to your trainer or assessor. A
Record of Achievement is also provided for your trainer to complete
once you complete the module.

This module was prepared to help you achieve the required

competency, in Setting up Equipment and Trolley, Accessing Rooms for
Servicing, Making-up Beds, Cleaning and Clearing Rooms and Cleaning
and Storing Trolleys and Equipment. This will be the source of
information for you to acquire knowledge and skills in this particular
trade independently and at your own pace, with minimum supervision or
help from your instructor.

 Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize the
Training of this unit. Read through the module carefully. It is
divided into sections, which cover all the skills, and knowledge you
need to successfully complete this module.

 Work through all the information and complete the activities in

each section. Read information sheets and complete the self-check.
Suggested references are included to supplement the materials
provided in this module.

 Most probably your trainer will also be your supervisor or manager.

He/she is there to support you and show you the correct way to do
things.

 Your trainer will tell you about the important things you need to
consider when you are completing activities and it is important that
you listen and take notes.

 You will be given plenty of opportunity to ask questions and

practice on the job. Make sure you practice your new skills during
regular work shifts. This way you will improve both your speed and
memory and also your confidence.

 Talk to more experience workmates and ask for their guidance.

 Use the self-check questions at the end of each section to test your
own progress.
 When you are ready, ask your trainer to watch you perform the
activities outlined in this module.

 As you work through the activities, ask for written feedback on your
progress. Your trainer keeps feedback/ pre-assessment reports for
this reason. When you have successfully completed each element,
ask your trainer to mark on the reports that you are ready for
assessment.

 When you have completed this module (or several modules), and
feel confident that you have had sufficient practice, your trainer will
arrange an appointment with registered assessor to assess you. The
results of your assessment will be recorded in your competency
Achievement Record.

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. 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.

3. 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.

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.
