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!

work samples or simulated workplace activities

simulation of problem solving exercises

oral questioning on issues in copyright

projects/reports/logbooks

third party reports and authenticated prior achievements

authenticated samples of relevant work in managing copyright

portfolios of evidence

Assessment must take place over a period of time in order to determine competence in the ongoing implementation and monitoring aspects of this unit. Assessment should ensure that a sufficient range of tasks is covered.
