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!

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

Locate, interpret and apply information.

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment.

Identify and itemise steps and stages in procedures.

Complete a significant operational procedure, incorporating safety obligations, and covering:

a full analysis of the topic area

a step-by-step operational procedure

supporting documents to the procedure.

Complete or review and update a specification for a significant system or sub-system covering:

system/sub-system description

components

materials

construction

circuitry

related information sources

legal, regulatory or intellectual property law requirements.

Modify products to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment.

Work effectively with others.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility.

Access to systems requiring specification, activities requiring procedural coverage, related, technical information and a work environment.

Method of assessment

Assessment of this unit of competence is most likely to be project related and require portfolios or other forms of indirect evidence of process. Direct evidence will include certification of compliance of the final outcome/product or authorisation for use by a competent authority.

Assessment must confirm the inference that competence is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstances, but is able to be transferred to other projects.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

collect, organise and understand technical information related to the specifications and procedures, testing processes, diagnostic methods and options and safety procedures.

communicate ideas and information to ensure the completeness, clarity and comprehension of the specifications and procedures by the target audience.

plan and organise to avoid backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage.

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity.

use mathematical ideas and techniques to incorporate measurements, calibration and test requirements into specifications and procedures.

establish processes which anticipate and allow for risks, cater for both direct and indirect causes, avoid or minimise reworking and avoid wastage in the preparation and content of procedures.

use the workplace technology related to document preparation, including calculators and measuring devices, computing systems and information management systems.

Required knowledge

technical writing and presentation techniques.

enterprise (or equivalent) technical procedure formats, content rules, preparation and management techniques.

Range Statement

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.

Specifications

Specifications are technical criteria for an object, item, system or sub-system describing the components, materials, construction, circuitry and associated legal, regulatory or intellectual property issues.

Procedures

Procedures contain detailed descriptions of the tasks, activities, sequences, materials, tooling, rules and safety requirements leading or guiding an individual through an authorised work practice.

Function

The function is undertaken in accordance with established enterprise procedures and practices may include requirements recommended by manufacturer.

Unit context

WHS requirements include legislation, safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures.

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements.

Workplace environment

Specifications and procedures may be used in established workshops or under external site conditions.

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices.

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the use of tooling and equipment.

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication.

Manufacturer/component supplier specifications and application procedures for testing equipment and materials.
