Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the following is essential

demonstrates knowledge of the techniques which apply to the design and construction of a lure and selects appropriate equipment and materials

uses a range of common designs construction methods tools equipment and materials to construct working lures

rigs works and tests lure in specific fishing environments and evaluates its effectiveness and identifies potential improvements

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure construction and evaluation of a range of lures suitable to local conditions to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance

Assessment must also ensure access to

an appropriate lure construction area for safe construction review testing and evaluation of lures

a fishing environment to work and trial lures

materials and equipment to construct and rig lures

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

observation of safe participation and demonstration of all practical tasks

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of lure construction to suit the targeted fish species

observation of working testing and evaluating lures

thirdparty reports from a supervisor detailing performance

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