The Evidence Guide describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence. It is essential for assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines of the relevant Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
ability to apply the research, development and evaluation process to an activity, event or program
detailed knowledge of subject matter and ability to apply that knowledge to the development of an activity or program that meets the needs of the particular customer group
Context of assessment and consistency of performance
The assessment context must provide for:
assessment conducted over a period of time to allow the candidate to develop, pilot and evaluate the activity
integration of workplace-realistic constraints for the development process, eg budget, space limitations, other resource constraints
Relationships to other units
This unit has strong linkages to other Public Programs units and to the guiding and interpretive units in the Tourism Training Package. Combined assessment and/or training with those units may be appropriate, for example:
THTFTG14A - Prepare specialised interpretive content (cultural/heritage environments)
CULMS004A - Integrate knowledge of education and learning into museum activities
Other Exhibition units
Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
project to develop and evaluate an activity, program or event for a nominated customer group/organisation
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of development processes
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].
Essential skills and knowledge
Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills:
subject matter around which the activity, program or event is developed
features of typical policies, procedures and practices relating to the provision of public activities, events and programs
concept of sustainable museum practice and its relevance to the development of public programs
sources of advice and specialist assistance for activity development
planning and scheduling for activity, event or program
interpretation techniques suitable for a wide range of audiences
relevant resources for planning, promoting, delivering and evaluating activity, event or program
cultural protocols to be observed in developing programs, including those relating to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander contexts
copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation that impact on the development of activities, including those relevant to Indigenous cultures
other relevant legislation including Child Protection and Trade Practices
literacy skills sufficient to develop varied and complex support materials
numeracy skills sufficient to estimate costs and work with budgets
Specific resource requirements
Assessment of this unit requires access to:
relevant organisational documentation
equipment and resources relevant to the activity, program or event
Generic employability skills
The seven key competencies represent generic skills considered for effective work participation. The bracketed numbering against each of the key competencies indicates the performance level required in this unit.
Level (1) represents the competence to undertake tasks effectively
Level (2) represents the competence to manage tasks
Level (3) represents the competence to use concepts for evaluating and reshaping tasks.
