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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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 evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

identify olive oil styles

identify common olive oil defects

modify horticultural and/or processing practices to remedy variations from desired style and quality.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

general tasting skills, including ability to detect and describe aromas and flavours, and to distinguish between bitterness and pungency in oils

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data

use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

cause of olive oil defects and how they can be remedied

horticultural and processing practices that affect olive oil style, and reasons for the effect

relationship between critical chemical parameters and oil style and quality.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Assessment techniques may include:

a range of techniques growers use to assess olive oil in terms of style and quality.

Accepted industry tasting procedures may include:

COI/T.20/Doc. no. 13 General Methodology for the Organoleptic Assessment of Virgin Olive Oil; and methods and standards adopted by the International Olive Oil Council for the sensory analysis of olive oil.
