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:

clearly, concisely and coherently conveying technical information to an individual client for their specific use

demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

observation of training on TWO separate occasions combined with discussion with the trainer about what has been done and their assessment of trainee's progress

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

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 and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

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


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by using clear explanations and checking responses to ensure that understanding has taken place

collecting, analysing and organising information by breaking the task into components for effective training. Theory is matched with practice

planning and organising activities by effectively sequencing demonstrations, explanations and practice to maximise learning

teamwork when working with supervisors to ensure that task trained is relevant to job and that trainee has opportunities to use and practise new skills

problem-solving skills by identifying misunderstandings and inadequate skills and finding remedies for them

Required knowledge

questioning and active listening for conveying and clarifying information

basic negotiation skills in relation to other team members

conveying meaning clearly, concisely and coherently

basic skills in demonstrating and explaining skills

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.

Scope of training may include:

training is provided on a one-to-one basis or to small groups of trainees and may include demonstrations and/or descriptions of procedures.

Target group may include:

this competency applies to skilled workers instructing other workers in a task during routine work.

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.
