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 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 OHS regulations applicable to workplace operations

apply organisational management policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements where appropriate

apply the principles of construction, standards and services, and design and maintenance specifications; associated reporting of data, findings, recommendations and strategies for at least one domestic scale building project or equivalent in compliance with relevant legislation

provide reports to appropriate body/individual as determined by the project brief.

apply strategic plans, workplace policies and procedures.

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:

an induction procedure and requirement

realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements

relevant specifications and work instructions

tools and equipment appropriate to applying safe work practices

support materials appropriate to activity

workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies

material safety data sheets

research resources, including industry related systems information.

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:

ability to respond to change and contribute to workplace responsibilities, such as current work site environmental and sustainability frameworks or management systems

communication skills to:

communicate effects of planning and construction legislation to others

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

read and interpret:

BCA

legislation

reports

specifications

standards

working drawings

use language and concepts appropriate to cultural differences

use and interpret non-verbal communication

written skills to:

document effects of legislation and standards

draft evaluation of own actions to make judgements about performance and necessary improvements

record planning and construction information

numeracy skills to interpret complex mathematical information

planning and organisational skills to collect, organise and analyse information

technological skills to:

complete documentation and calculations

enable information gathering and analysis.

Required knowledge

Required knowledge for this unit is:

access requirements for people with a disability and requirements of the DDA with regard to access

authorities and powers of a building surveyor

codes of conduct and ethics

design and construction principles of buildings

nature of materials and effect on performance

processes for the administration and preparation of documentation

processes for the interpretation of reports, working drawings and specifications

relevant federal, state or territory legislation and local government policy and procedures

research methods

terminology, definitions and hazard identification.

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.

Planning and preparation include:

assessment of conditions and hazards

determination of work requirements

identification of any equipment defects

safety plans and policies

work site inspection.

Construction principles for domestic scale buildings include:

evaluation and identification of construction methods, standards and services in compliance with relevant legislation, design specifications, maintenance specifications

domestic scale building projects requiring the application of principles of construction include provision of site access/facilities, work schedules, project milestones and the calculation and processing of application or inspection fees.

Reporting systems in accordance with organisational, legislative and quality assurance procedures include:

desk-based assessment

site-based assessment.

Relevant legislation includes:

that relevant to domestic scale buildings (or those similar in characteristics in terms of loading, construction and size and may include small industrial, commercial and public buildings).

Types, principles, standards and practices for standard construction include:

communication systems

cupboard joinery and finishes

damp proof courses

electricity

flashings

floor, wall and ceiling finishes and coatings

floor, wall and ceiling linings, including fire-rated systems and acoustic system installations
