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!

CUACOS504 - Make specialised costumes

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine requirements for specialised costumes

  1. In consultation with relevant personnel, use design sketches and other production documentation to determine the need for hard and soft sculptured specialised costumes
  2. Undertake research to establish the broad parameters for costume construction, including availability of materials
  3. Use research material to adapt costume designs for specific productions
  4. Identify performance and performers’ costume requirements to ensure that costume construction is practical and appropriate to performances
