Evidence Required

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

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person should demonstrate the ability to

produce rendered animations for digital D models of a range of building designs that meet client expectations and workplace requirements

present animations of a range of building designs to clients including

explaining design using terms appropriate to clients understanding

encouraging and answering questions and feedback

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit

must be in the context of the work environment

may be conducted in an offsite context provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance including task skills task management skills contingency management skills and job role environment skills

must meet relevant compliance requirements

Resource implications for assessment include

access to

suitable assessment venue and equipment

suitable simulated or real opportunities and resources to demonstrate competence

assessment instruments

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge using one or more of the following methods

written andor oral assessment of the candidates required knowledge for the unit

observed documented andor firsthand testimonial evidence of the candidates

implementation of appropriate procedures and techniques for the safe effective and efficient achievement of the required outcomes

identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes

identification of viable options and the selection of options that best meet the required outcomes

consistently achieving the required outcomes

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function

Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities

Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed
