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 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 process to plan and select sailboard and equipment suitable for light winds and enclosed waters and conducts routine inspection and maintenance of equipment

rigs, launches and lands sailboard and maintains a stable, balanced position while manoeuvring around a small triangular course in controlled conditions

applies self rescue procedures, ensuring personal safety, and alternative rescues where required

evaluates and reflects on own sailboarding performance to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas that need improvement.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure participation in multiple sailboarding activities in controlled conditions to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

resources and information, such as weather sources, to plan and select equipment for the sailboarding activity

a suitable location with enclosed water, light winds of 3-12 knots and controlled conditions

a qualified leader or supervisor

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 or written questioning to assess knowledge of sailboarding environments, including wind direction and speed, and possible hazards

observation of safe participation and demonstration of sailboarding techniques and manoeuvres

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance.

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