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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:

perform mechanical support activities in a cycling event for a minimum duration of one (1) day on at least two (2) occasions, including:

working to required team/event standards

identifying and applying team requirements, controlling body and event category rules and regulations

correctly applying safety procedures and using personal protective equipment

working effectively with others

modifying activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

maintain and apply knowledge of current bicycle technology.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that reflects as far as possible the actual working environment.

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including specified Australian standards.

Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.

The following resources should be made available:

information relevant to cycling bodies/organisations and events

equipment and tooling appropriate to work operations in a cycling event environment

computer with internet connection

workplace documentation.

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of this Training Package.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of Required Skills and Knowledge.

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on Required Skills and Knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.

Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally sensitive and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills include:

technical skills to the level required to carry out work role, including setting up workstation, using and maintaining tools and equipment and performing repairs and adjustments on bicycles

literacy skills to the level required to collect, organise and understand information related to organised cycling events, including roles and responsibilities, event regulations and requirements, and potential career paths

numeracy skills to the level required to interpret technical information and complete specified tasks using calculations and measuring devices

problem-solving skills to the level required to develop solutions to unpredicted situations, clarify work instructions and resolve conflict

team skills to the level required to work effectively and cooperatively with others to optimise workflow and productivity
