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:

plans and delivers information, explanations and demonstrations for golf sessions to ensure activities are conducted safely according to participant's needs and characteristics

observes and monitors the progress of participants and provides constructive feedback and intervention to improve and develop the skills of golf to an advanced level

uses and modifies teaching and coaching techniques, drills, activities and games to cater for a range of individual learning styles and levels

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

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure conduct of safe drills, activities and games that reflect the needs and characteristics of a range of participants and are of sufficient duration and breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

resources and information regarding participants to accurately plan, coach and document golf sessions to an advanced level of performance

rules and regulations of golf such as Golf Australia publications and the Australian Sports Commission harassment-free Sport policy

current relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures that impact on the conduct of drills, activities and games

a suitable location, green or golf facility

a group of participants to take part in the golf sessions and games to an advanced level

suitably qualified golfing officials and support staff

equipment such as clubs and balls.

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 planning processes, such as consulting with participants to determine their needs and characteristics

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant legislation, organisational policies and procedures, and rules and regulations of golf to enable safe conduct of all drills, activities and games during the session or sessions

observation of safe golf coaching to an advanced level and monitoring and adjusting instructional techniques according to participant's needs, characteristics and responses

portfolio of session plans and self-evaluations

third-party reports from a supervisor or mentor detailing performance.

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