Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to manage change and technical development. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with managing change and technical development or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: preparing plans introduce technical change communicating change managing technical problems developing strategies to implement technical changes implementing technical change negotiations with stakeholders to facilitate implementation of technical change |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: opportunities to introduce technical improvements in products and systems the costs/benefits of introducing technical improvements procedures for introducing technical change all stakeholders affected by the introduction of technical change strategies to communicate details of proposed technical change(s) alternative approaches to managing technical problems the costs/benefits associated with the alternative approaches opportunities to improve resource utilisation the procedures to implement improved resource management techniques the risks and benefits associated with changes to resource management procedures changing needs of customers/stakeholders appropriate responses to the customers/stakeholders changing needs the risks and benefits associated with the proposed technical changes strategies to implement the appropriate technical change the procedures for keeping stakeholders informed of progress in the implementation of technical change the proposed benefits of the technical change being implemented |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Technical improvements | May be brought about by changes in client/market demand, improved process, competitor stances and a range of other interactions |
Risk | Occupational health and safety, applicable regulations and the business implications of the technical change |
Legislation, codes and national standards | May use relevant legislation, regulation, codes and national standards relevant to the workplace. |
Technical change | May be implemented in one or more systems, processes or products. May or may not be due to the introduction of new technologies |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
