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 ability to:

recognise when and how equipment intervention should take place to improve individual skill performance and carry out fittings over sufficient time to enhance player performance in a safe manner

determine and analyse player preferences and ability and make appropriate equipment recommendations based on this information

monitor and review player performance during practice sessions and adapt or modify fitting recommendations in response to continuing problems

undertake suitable repair or alteration procedures according to best practice in golf repair and alteration.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

carrying out fittings for multiple golfers with differing requirements over a period of time to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

a golf facility or green

participants or players competing at appropriate ability levels

appropriate equipment and resources for undertaking fitting, repair and alteration of golf equipment

relevant organisational policies and procedures for fitting and altering golf equipment.

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 performance in fitting sessions and response to requirements for further intervention

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant rules, regulations of golf impacting on fitting, alteration and repair of golf equipment

third-party reports from coaches or professionals detailing ability to accurately fit and alter a range of equipment.

Guidance information for assessment

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

apply fitting methods and techniques to enhance performance

select, repair or alter golf equipment in response to fitting outcomes

apply appropriate technological aids as part of the fitting process.
