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

Evidence of the ability to:

choose appropriate technology to support the organisation's activities

identify suitable training options to support the introduction of new technology

develop strategies to ensure technology is used effectively within the organisation.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

participation on an actual or simulated board

access to examples of technology used in workplaces

knowledge and performance are assessed over time to confirm consistency in performance.

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:

observation of performance on a board or simulated board

direct questioning combined with reflection of practical board performance by the candidate

analysis of responses to case studies and scenarios

observation of presentations and group discussions

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge

observation of performance in role plays

analysis of feedback from the staff, board members and others regarding performance.

Guidance information for assessment

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

BSBATSIM420A Oversee asset management.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication, teamwork and negotiation skills to work cooperatively with other board members, management and staff of the organisation, members, community and key stakeholders

culturally appropriate communication skills to relate to people from diverse backgrounds and with diverse abilities

evaluation and decision-making skills to monitor and review information presented to the board and enact decisions

mentoring skills to support staff using the technology

planning skills to organise appropriate training and support for staff

problem-solving skills to identify and manage issues that may arise in the use of the technology

Required knowledge

basic principles of cost-benefit analysis

cultural context in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boards operate, and how that may impact on the selection and use of technology

equipment and funding sources

geographic, social, economic and political contexts in which particular organisations operate and how these may impact on the selection and use of technology

potential barriers to learning, and strategies to address these

provisions of federal, state or territory legislation and funding body requirements that may impact on the purchase, use and disposal of assets

range of technology options available to support organisational activities

relevant protocols and cultural responsibilities when supporting members of staff

strategies that can be used to evaluate information regarding technology

training options available to the organisation to develop skills in the use of technology

Range Statement

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.

Technology may include:

computer software packages

information technology

new generation plant and equipment.

Options to access technology may include:

borrow

lease or hire

obtain donations

partnership arrangements

purchase.

Evaluation may relate to:

effectiveness, including cost effectiveness

human impacts

level of training need

reliability

suitability

sustainability.
