    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The standards for the event industry have been compared against the United Kingdom unit standards, New Zealand standards as well as the Australian unit standards and show a substantial degree of similarity. 

    ARTICULATION OPTIONS 
    This qualification has compulsory core unit standards on sport and fitness, which are transferable beyond the specific qualification. In the qualification being submitted, the fundamental and core unit standards are the same as for sport, recreation and fitness. This makes it easy for a learner to move from a sport qualification to a recreation or fitness qualification, at a level higher than this qualification, as they will have the core basic knowledge that is applicable in sport or recreation or fitness. This qualification would be useful in community sport volunteers, guided private enterprise and well managed programmes.

    Anyone assessing a learner against this qualification must be registered as an assessor with the relevant ETQAs.

    Any institution offering learning that will enable achievement of this qualification, or assessment against this qualification must be accredited as a provider with the relevant ETQA.
