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!

Test design approaches

  1. Produce preliminary visuals
  2. Experiment with range of techniques and processes to test design approaches
  3. Evaluate, challenge and refine testing processes
  4. Critique own work and seek feedback as required
  5. Document outcomes of testing
  6. Select final design approach based on outcomes of testing and input from others

Evidence of the ability to:

interpret requirements in a design brief in consultation with relevant people

identify and prepare resources required to respond to the design brief

test and use a range of approaches and techniques for the design of products, and document the results of testing

create a prototype based on selected design approach.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

outline factors that impact on the selection and use of resources

identify materials, tools and equipment, and their capabilities and application to product design and manufacture

outline the role of experimentation and testing in the design process

describe the techniques and processes used to test design approaches

outline legislation and standards relevant to spatial design.
