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 following is essential:

processing of motion picture film that demonstrates:

safe handling of hazardous materials and exposed and unexposed film

correct interpretation of job instructions

attention to detail

collaborative approach to work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

practical demonstration of skills within timeframes in a work environment

access to motion picture film processing opportunities, together with a reasonable variety of assignments

access to a range of motion picture film processing hardware

access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

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

inspection of film processed by the candidate in response to instructions received from a supervisor

observation of the candidate processing film to determine whether correct procedures have been followed

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