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

Evidence of the ability to:

develop a fitness regime appropriate to the level of fitness required for dance activities

apply basic techniques to improve strength, flexibility and stamina

apply basic nutrition principles to own diet.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to dance or fitness studio setting.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence

third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance

evaluation of a fitness plan developed

verbal or written questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit

case studies and scenarios as a basis for discussion of issues and challenges that arise in the context of developing a basic level of physical condition for dance performance

direct observation or video recording of the candidate executing exercises.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

CUADAN201A Develop basic dance techniques.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

discuss aspects of fitness regimes with relevant personnel

interpret and clarify written and verbal instructions

planning and organising skills to:

analyse information on basic energy systems to inform development of a fitness regime

develop a fitness regime that meets own physical conditioning needs

problem-solving skills to address the fine motor control requirements of exercises

self-management skills to:

seek assistance when problems arise

follow nutritional guidelines

develop a balanced and affordable diet plan

follow OHS requirements as they relate to dance

teamwork skills to participate in group training sessions

technical skills to execute a series of body conditioning exercises

technology skills to access and download information from the internet.

Required knowledge

structure and function of the human skeletal system
