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 Guide


The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the following is essential: applies relevant planning processes for off-highway motorcycling tour and conducts accurate routine checks and maintenance of motorcycle and equipment takes measures to guard personal and group safety by identifying and negotiating obstacles, hazards and risks, and selecting apparel that is suitable to all possible weather conditions evaluates and reflects on own extended off-highway motorcycling performance to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas that need improvement.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure participation in extended off-highway motorcycling tours that are of sufficient breadth and duration to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance. Assessment must also ensure access to: a suitable off-highway location for overnight or extended tours off-highway motorcycles apparel and equipment such as helmets, safe footwear and protective clothing.
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: oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of potential risks associated with extended off-highway motorcycling observation of safe participation and demonstration of off-highway motorcycling techniques over a variety of terrain observation of dealing with hazards, obstacles and contingencies, such as motorcycle or equipment failure and change in conditions observation of conducting motorcycle maintenance checks and repairs third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: SISOOPS202A Use and maintain a temporary or overnight site.
