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 | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: correct interpretation of artistic and technical requirements of the production/event ability to create accurate, clear and technically correct production reference documents knowledge of the range of documentation used in different types of production. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the creation and use of documents for at least two different productions interaction with and involvement of a technical and performance team to reflect the collaborative nature of the process presence of time pressures in the creation and updating of documents. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess practical skills and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: review of production reference documents prepared by the candidate project activity which allows the candidate to create documents for different productions written or oral questioning to assess knowledge of artistic and technical requirements of the production/event review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the job performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands 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 | Assessment of this unit requires access to: a production source documentation on which production reference documentation can be based a rehearsal venue. |

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 colleagues may include: | artistic specialist artists/performers choreographers conductor designers director musical director production manager technical director technical staff |
Production reference documents must include: | cue sheet production script running sheet |
Production reference documents may include: | 'doubling' list cast list cast/character/costume/props matrix directors notes extract lists notated score quick change lists rehearsal scene breakdown scene-by-scene principles and extras lists |
Information for the production script may include: | backstage calls and announcements cues and standbys to performers and technicians cuts and additions to script front-of-house calls location, use and movement of props, costumes and set pieces musical score requirements other performer movements, eg entrances, exits, moves 'on stage' performer calls repeats, pauses, vocal dynamics and other notations relating to performance |
Prompting may take place: | during a technical run through in dress rehearsal in ordinary rehearsals in the live production/event |
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.
