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

design specifications for digital simulations that

are well documented and clearly presented

meet performance requirements

are technically feasible

ability to work effectively as a member of a design team

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

practical demonstration of skills through the design of at least two digital simulations

access to briefs for digital simulations on which designs can be based

access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed

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

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and thirdparty workplace reports of onthejob performance

evaluation of digital simulation designs documented by the candidate and of their quality in terms of meeting performance requirements

written or oral questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit

case studies to assess ability to develop digital simulations for a range of real world environments

Guidance information for assessment

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