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!

Evidence of the following is essential:

applies knowledge of horse handling and behaviour to train horses using appropriate techniques

monitors horse's progress and performance to ensure horse's health and welfare, makes appropriate adjustments to the training program and provides feedback to appropriate personnel

applies effective contingency management techniques to ensure horse's health and welfare at all times.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure assessment of training needs of multiple horses to design and monitor education programs of sufficient duration and breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

a horse riding establishment

horses of varying physical conditions operating in a variety of roles and at various stages of training

appropriate equipment and resources to implement the education program

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

observation of assessment of horse's education needs and application of planning processes to develop an appropriate education program

oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of behaviour of horses and the effects of training

portfolio of training plans and progress records for horses

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance.

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

Required Skills and Knowledge
