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!

LGAWORK501A - Prepare preliminary design for operational works

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Establish design criteria

  1. Project objectives are defined so that the preliminary design can address required outcomes.
  2. Regulations and restrictions on design are identified to ensure design meets relevant standards and codes.
  3. The physical dimensions of the project are specified to enable the design to proceed.
  4. An appropriate level of design detail is established to enable a preliminary design to be prepared.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Overview of assessment requirements

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit will be able to perform the outcomes described in the Elements to the required performance level detailed in the Performance Criteria. The knowledge and skill requirements described in the Range Statement must also be demonstrated. For example, knowledge of the legislative framework and safe work practices that underpin the performance of the unit must be demonstrated.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Australian design standards are applied.

Review of environmental factors for maintenance and construction projects is conducted.

Safety design audit is undertaken.

Context of assessment

May be assessed through:

on the job

simulated workplace environment

written assignment

short-answer test

oral questioning

observation

or any combination of the above.

Relationship to other units(prerequisite or co-requisite units)

To enable holistic assessment this unit may be assessed with other units that form part of the job role.

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

observation of the learner performing a range of workplace tasks over sufficient time to demonstrate handling of a range of contingencies

written and/or oral questioning to assess knowledge and understanding

completion of workplace documentation

third-party reports from experienced practitioners

completion of self-paced learning materials including personal reflection and feedback from trainer, coach or supervisor.

Evidence required for demonstration of consistent performance

Evidence will need to be gathered over time across a range of variables.

Resource implications

In accordance with a range of variable requirements.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit
