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

Evidence of the following is essential

restoration of moving images that demonstrates an ability to

use moving image restoration equipment appropriately

judge image quality for artefacts stability and frame rate

connect and use a range of external media

understand and use image data

correctly interpret production schedulesinstructions

work to deadlines

a collaborative approach to work

attention to detail

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

access to appropriate moving image restoration hardware software and tools

access to suitable image data to restore

access to variety of external media types

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 a review of portfolios of evidence and thirdparty workplace reports of onthejob performance

direct observation of performance during a series of practical demonstrations using restoration equipment

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

Guidance information for assessment

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