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!

SIRRMER005 - Implement visual merchandising concepts

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

Develop concept implementation plan.

  1. Access and review visual merchandising concept and determine implementation requirements and constraints.
  2. Determine internal and external resource requirements including available budget.
  3. Access and review organisational visual merchandising guidelines and standards to inform implementation plan development.
  4. Identify opportunities to create cost-efficiencies and maximise use of resources.
  5. Identify potential risks to be managed throughout the implementation process and develop contingency plans.
  6. Identify key activities and plan the allocation of roles, responsibilities and timelines.
  7. Plan product selection and inventory management.
  8. Plan internal and external communication strategies for communicating implementation roles, responsibilities and timelines.
  9. Develop performance criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of the concept.
  10. Document an implementation plan and seek any required approval.
