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:

recognises when and how equipment intervention should take place to improve individual skill performance and carries out fittings over sufficient time to enhance player performance in a safe manner and to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance

determines and analyses player preferences and ability and makes appropriate equipment recommendations based on this information

monitors and reviews player performance during practice sessions and adapts or modifies fitting recommendations in response to continuing problems over sufficient time to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance

undertakes 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 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 officials detailing performance.

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

convey information about fitting techniques and processes to players

respond to player feedback and questions about equipment and performance requirements

analyse a variety of performances of participants in order to detect performance gaps due to equipment variables

apply appropriate corrections using a variety of appropriate fitting techniques

undertake repair and alteration procedures to enable equipment to be tailored to individual player requirements

language and literacy skills to detect and document patterns of errors, by use of round analysis charts and statistical results

ability to apply fitting methods and techniques to enhance performance

ability to repair or alter golf equipment in response to fitting outcomes

ability to apply appropriate technological aids as part of the fitting process.

Required knowledge

biomechanical and ball flight laws, principles and preferences in the context of golf equipment design to enable the accurate assessment and fitting of golf equipment

cause and effect relationships and their impact on equipment or component design and fitting to enable accurate modification of equipment

procedures and protocols for fitting players for the advanced skills of golf

rules and regulations of golf to enable the fitting, alteration and repair of golf equipment to be conducted according to required specifications
