Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence. It is essential for assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines of the relevant Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

application of planning and organisational skills to the development and implementation of procedures for movement/storage of cultural material

sound knowledge of the internal, external and technical issues that impact on movement/storage of cultural material

Context of assessment and consistency of performance

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the development and implementation of movement/storage procedures for specific cultural material

involvement of, and interaction with others to reflect the consultative and team-leading nature of the unit

assessment over a period of time to reflect the ongoing implementation and monitoring aspects of the unit

Relationships to other units

It is recommended that this unit be assessed with or after the following units:

BSBFLM404A - Lead work teams

CUEFIN02B - Manage a budget

CULMS003A - Move/store cultural material

This unit also has linkages with a range of other museum-specific and general units, and combined assessment and/or training with those units may be appropriate.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

evaluation of procedures developed by the candidate, and the processes used

case studies to assess ability to develop options for different workplace contexts and situations

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of technical and other considerations in the movement/storage of cultural material

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups [e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling].

Essential skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills:

technical/conservation issues associated with the movement of particular cultural material in a given work context

technical/conservation issues associated with the storage of particular cultural material in a given work context

typical protection, transportation, storage and security procedures and practices relevant to the work context

legal and administrative requirements for the movement/storage of cultural material

cultural protocols that affect the movement/storage of cultural material, including those for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander material

copyright, moral rights and intellectual property legislation and issues that impact on movement/storage of cultural material

safety legislation and requirements that impact on the movement/storage of cultural material

planning and organisational techniques and processes in relation to the movement/storage of cultural material

communication and consultation skills

literacy skills sufficient to interpret a wide range of information and communicate detailed procedures and systems

Specific resource requirements

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

relevant policies and procedures manuals

a collection for which procedures can be planned

Generic employability skills

The seven Key Competencies represent generic skills considered for effective work participation. The bracketed numbering against each of the Key Competencies indicates the performance level required in this unit.

Level (1) represents the competence to undertake tasks effectively
