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

The meat industry has specific and clear requirements for evidence A minimum of three forms of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in the meat industry This is specifically designed to provide evidence that covers the demonstration in the workplace of all aspects of competency over time

These requirements are in addition to the requirements for valid current authentic and sufficient evidence

Three forms of evidence means three different kinds of evidence not three pieces of the same kind In practice it will mean that most of the unit is covered twice This increases the legitimacy of the evidence

All assessment must be conducted against Australian meat industry standards and regulations

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Competency must be demonstrated over time and under typical operating conditions for the enterprise

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must occur in the workplace under normal operating conditions or in a simulated environment

Method of assessment
