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

Overview of assessment

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

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

technical knowledge of the performance capacity of range of vision systems

effective interpretation of the brief and development of workable plans to meet the brief

effective communication with clients and other technical personnel

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for

development of installation plans for more than one event or production

involvement of and interaction with others client production team to reflect the collaborative nature of the planning process

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess practical skills and the application of essential underpinning knowledge and might include

project or work activities to develop an installation plan for a particular productionevent

project or role play activities which allow the candidate to demonstrate skills in interpreting briefs and presenting plans

written or oral questioning to test technical knowledge of typical vision systems

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

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups eg 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

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment of this unit requires access to

a brief and budget for vision system requirements

manual or computerised drawing materials

access to a venue or venue plans in order to develop a tailored installation plan
