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!

Identify type of rough gemstone

  1. Undertake preliminary investigations before deciding how to proceed with cutting or carving the gemstone
  2. Review current market requirements and consult with client to determine preferences for how gemstone could be cut
  3. Determine the location of the colour within the rough gemstone
  4. Discuss possible strategies for cutting with colleagues and client based on findings
  5. Determine jewellers’ requirements for products being considered
  6. Review the options for cutting and plan cut to achieve the best result
