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 describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence. It is essential for assessment and must be read conjunction with the performance criteria, the range statement and the assessment guidelines of the relevant Training Package

Overview of assessment requirements

Assessment should confirm the ability to facilitate the use of continuous improvement at a team level within a manufacturing organisation

What critical aspects of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in this unit?

Evidence of the facilitation of continuous improvement should be available

In what context should assessment occur?

Assessment will need to occur in an organisation using continuous improvement or by project.

Are there any other units which could or should be assessed with this unit or which relate directly to this unit?

This unit could be assessed concurrently with other relevant units.

What method of assessment should apply?

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the elements, performance criteria, skills and knowledge. A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors should gather sufficient, fair, valid, reliable, authentic and current evidence from a range of sources. Sources of evidence may include direct observation, reports from supervisors, peers and colleagues, project work, samples, organisation records and questioning. Assessment should not require language, literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit.

The assessee will have access to all techniques, procedures, information, resources and aids which would normally be available in the workplace.

The method of assessment should be discussed and agreed with the assessee prior to the commencement of the assessment

What evidence is required for demonstration of consistent performance?

Generally routine continuous improvement by the work group and improvement team(s) from the work group would be needed to generate sufficient evidence

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit?

Access to an organisation using continuous improvement.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

analysis

problem solving

planning and organising

communication

negotiation

documenting

Required knowledge:

continuous improvement process.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Scope and benefit statements

Scope and benefit statements of improvement project may include:

description of the business

the target work process

what the key stakeholders seek from the improvement project

a mission for the event

a set of goals

a statement of the do's and don'ts for the improvement project.

Key process indicators

Key process indicators may include:

statistical process control data/charts

orders

lost time, injury and other OHS records

equipment reliability charts

etc.
