Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Organise data collection

  1. Data is collected on project inputs, processes and outcomes according to evaluation approach.
  2. Appropriate instructions are provided to others for them to collect data on behalf of the evaluator.
  3. Appropriate forms and questionnaires are designed to implement the evaluation.
  4. Interviews are conducted and observations made according to the planned evaluation approach.
  5. Data is recorded in format suitable for analysis and reporting.
  6. Accuracy of data is checked according to evaluation practice and program and agency requirements.
