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:

record, reproduce and perform music competently using technology-based equipment

respond positively to constructive feedback on own skill development in relation to incorporating music technology into performance.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to technology-based equipment and related software

access to at least one form of outboard equipment linked to a computer or other technology-based equipment

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

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are appropriate for this unit:

direct observation or video recordings of candidate using technology-based equipment in practice sessions or performances

testimonial from individual tutors

written or oral questioning to assess knowledge as listed in the required knowledge section of this unit.

Guidance information for assessment

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

CUSMCP303A Develop simple musical pieces using electronic media

CUSMLT201A Develop and apply musical ideas and listening skills

CUSMPF201A Play or sing simple musical pieces.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication, teamwork and organisational skills sufficient to:

follow written and verbal instructions
