Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCPHT209A - Produce trellis dried grapes

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Summer prune a grape crop for trellis drying

  1. Leaf coverage on fruiting canes is reduced to assist cutting, emulsion application and drying
  2. Canes are cut in accordance with enterprise standards
  3. Replacement canes are left intact and undamaged to ensure next year’s fruiting
  4. Grapes requiring emulsion treatment are sprayed to ensure full and complete coverage

Prepare for harvesting trellis dried grapes

  1. Uncut grapes are identified, crown bunches cut and hung on trellis without damage for drying or removed
  2. Crop is sampled and tested for moisture content and readiness to harvest
  3. Harvest tools, equipment and machinery are selected and checked
  4. Suitable personal protective equipment is selected, used, maintained and stored

Harvest trellis dried grapes

  1. Harvesting machinery and ancillary equipment is operated in a safe manner and at speeds to suit crop conditions
  2. Quality of the crop is maximised by implementing and maintaining standards that meet processor and enterprise requirements
  3. Full bulk bins are removed, stored and treated as soon as possible to minimise deterioration of crop quality
  4. Harvest tools, equipment and machinery are cleaned of pests and other contaminants to maintain crop quality
  5. Risks to self, others and the environment are recognised and controlled

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and includes achievement of the following:

undertake summer pruning and crown bunch removal

carry-out harvest and post-harvest drying

follow work plans

comply with processor quality standards and requirements

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the AHC10 Training Package and can be assessed holistically with other units

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of required knowledge

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on required knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of employability skills

Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access, interpret and apply the required knowledge

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate

Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English

Where the participant has a disability, reasonable adjustment may be applied during assessment

Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role

Guidance information for assessment

To ensure consistency of performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills include:

Ability to:

summer prune vines according to enterprise requirements

handle and use trellis drying tools, equipment and machinery safely

select, fit and use appropriate personal protective clothing and/or equipment

Required knowledge includes:

Knowledge of:

summer pruning requirements and procedures

crown/cordon bunch picking/removal requirements and procedures

the parts of a grape vine

year round preparation required for trellis drying
