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!

shows a command of chosen materials

demonstrates the development of an individual style

supports own ideas for work.

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:

describe intellectual property requirements relevant to producing glassworks

identify an extensive range of information sources that support research in glassworking materials

describe, for an extensive range of materials used to produce glass objects:

physical properties and capabilities

the characteristics of materials under different treatments and how they work to achieve different effects

limitations and constraints in achieving effects

describe how different materials and glassworking techniques combine to achieve different technical effects

explain ways to use, adapt, combine and challenge the capabilities of an extensive range of glassworking materials to develop an individual professional style

summarise supply sources for an extensive range of glassworking materials used in professional practice

describe, for glassworking materials, typical types, content and use of safety and technical data including Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

explain key safety requirements for glasswork.
