Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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 ability to:

shift and lift an outside resistance without injuring the body

execute overhead lifts with ease during performances

improve weight lifting capacity through regular execution of a range of resistance training exercises.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to a gym equipped with a range of equipment and resources for weight training.

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

third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance

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

case studies and scenarios as a basis for discussion of issues and challenges that arise in the context of weight training

direct observation or video recording of candidate performing exercises or applying lifting techniques during performances.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. 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

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

CUADAN507A Refine dance partnering techniques.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

communication skills to:

discuss aspects of weight training exercises with relevant personnel

interpret and clarify written and verbal instructions

planning and organising skills to:

develop an advanced weight training plan to meet performance needs

follow complex routine exercises

problem-solving skills to resolve problems encountered in training

self-management skills to:

prepare for exercise program through OHS practices

demonstrate consistency, discipline and commitment in relation to evaluating and monitoring personal fitness levels

teamwork skills to participate in group training sessions

technical skills to use a range of resistance-training apparatus to build strength.

Required knowledge

safe lifting techniques

core control skills for balance and injury prevention

function and features of a range of resistance training apparatus

anatomical foundations, including:

articulation of the spine

engagement of the feet

bases of support, including feet, legs, hands, arms and torso

range of joint motion

differentiation of the legs and pelvis

OHS procedures appropriate to performance-skills practice.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Relevant personnel may include:

teacher

trainer

medical practitioner

physiotherapist

dietician

mentor

qualified fitness instructor

supervisor

colleague

fellow student

performer.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
