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 following is essential:

practical demonstration of skills through the development and finalisation of at least two design briefs for a specific industry purpose

effective collaboration and communication skills to work with others to develop and refine a design brief

knowledge of the design process within the specific industry context/design discipline.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to appropriate equipment and media to communicate and present ideas and concepts

access to sources of information relevant to the industry context

interaction with and involvement of others to reflect the collaborative nature of the work, and the communication and negotiation skills required.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used t 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

evaluation of a design brief in which the candidate has played a significant development role

evaluation of reports prepared by the candidate detailing the processes undertaken for establishing and refining the design brief, including challenges faced and lessons learned for the future

observation of discussions and negotiations with client and other stakeholders

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the process and issues surrounding legislation, industry context, sources of information

evaluation of candidate response to different scenarios to assess ability to adapt approach to different client requirements and contexts.

Guidance information for assessment

The design process does not occur in isolation. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

any specialised design unit.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication, presentation and negotiation skills to work with clients to establish and refine design briefs

creative thinking skills to generate and develop concepts and ideas for the design brief, including responses to situations where parameters may be quite broad and open or very restrictive

literacy skills to research and evaluate a wide range of source materials for the development of ideas and concepts

numeracy skills to develop realistic costings for realisation of design concept

planning and organisational skills to guide and coordinate the process of negotiating and finalising a design brief

problem-solving skills to pro-actively identify and develop effective solutions to complex challenges of a varied and unpredictable nature

self-management skills to take responsibility for driving and guiding the brief negotiation process.

Required knowledge

copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation that impact on design in the relevant work context

legal issues that affect negotiations and contracts in the relevant work context

scope, nature and potential variations within design briefs relevant to a specific context

sources of information that inform the development of design concepts within a specific industry context.

Range Statement
