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 in this unit

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

correct interpretation of a brief

selection and application of equipment materials lighting and image capture techniques consistent with the purpose of the brief

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for

project or work activities that allow the candidate to select and apply image capture techniques for a range of purposes

presence of time constraints that reflect industry practice and standards

Method of assessment

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

direct observation of the candidate undertaking image capture

evaluation of images produced by the candidate

questioning and discussion of the image capture techniques and their use

review of folios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate

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

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed for image capture
