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

This unit of competency could be assessed by planning a swimming and spa that meets applicable building codes and standards.

This unit of competency can be assessed in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:

comply with organisational quality procedures and processes

apply and interpret relevant swimming pool and spa building documentation and codes

accurately apply BCA performance requirements relating to the design and construction of swimming pools and spas

demonstrate understanding of some assessment methods available to determine compliance with the BCA

identify swimming pool and spa faults and problems and proposed action to rectify.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context.

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

access to BCA and relevant documents referenced in the BCA

access to relevant legislation

project documentation, including design brief, design drawings, specifications, construction schedules and other supporting documents

research resources, including product information and data

relevant computer software package and suitable hardware.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice, with a decision on competency only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's demonstrated ability and applied knowledge

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence.

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Supplementary evidence of competency may be obtained from relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Required skills for this unit are:

communication skills to:

enable clear and direct communication, using questioning to identify and confirm requirements, share information, listen and understand

discuss and propose alternative solutions

read and interpret:

documentation from a variety of sources, including BCA and referenced documents

specifications and drawings

use and interpret non-verbal communication

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

written skills to complete documentation in accordance with BCA requirements

numeracy skills to apply mathematical information included in building codes and standards.

Required knowledge

Required knowledge for this unit is:

understanding of the BCA relating to:

basic design principles and the behaviour of structures under stress, strain, compression, bending or combined actions

BCA performance hierarchy

definitions and common technical terms or usage specified under general provisions of BCA

general nature of materials and the effects of performance

interpretation and analysis of working drawings and specifications

relevance of Australian standards and relevant ancillary provisions in state and territory building legislation

relevant legislative and OHS requirements, codes and practices

swimming pool design and construction.

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.

Assessment methods include:

comparison with BCA DTS provisions

evidence of suitability as described in the BCA

expert judgement as defined in the BCA

verification method as defined in the BCA.

Performance requirements include:

those contained within other legislation applicable to a specific project

performance requirements of the BCA determined to be relevant to a specific project

performance-based contractual requirements that must be fulfilled by any party.
