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

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

Evidence of the ability to:

shift and lift an outside resistance without injuring the body

improve weight lifting capacity through regular execution of a range of resistance training exercises.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to a gym equipped with a range of equipment and resources for weight training.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence

third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance

verbal or written questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit

case studies and scenarios as a basis for discussion of issues and challenges that arise in the context of weight training

direct observation or video recording of candidate performing exercises or applying lifting skills during performances.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

CUADAN303A Develop dance partnering techniques

CUAOHS401A Apply movement and behavioural principles to physical conditioning

CUAOHS403A Incorporate anatomy and nutrition principles into skill development.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

discuss aspects of weight training exercises with relevant personnel

interpret and clarify written and verbal instructions

planning and organising skills to:

develop a weight training plan to meet individual needs

calculate appropriate lifts for size

follow complex routine exercises

problem-solving skills to resolve problems encountered in training

self-management skills to:

prepare for exercise program through OHS practices

demonstrate consistency, discipline and commitment related to evaluating and monitoring personal fitness levels

teamwork skills to participate in group training sessions

technical skills to use a range of resistance-training apparatus to build strength.

Required knowledge

safe lifting techniques

core control skills for balance and injury prevention

function and features of a range of resistance training apparatus

anatomical foundations, including:

articulation of the spine

engagement of the feet

bases of support, including feet, legs, hands, arms and torso

range of motion of the joints

differentiation of the legs and pelvis

OHS procedures appropriate to performance-skills practice.

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.

Relevant personnel may include:

teacher

medical practitioner

physiotherapist

dietician

mentor

qualified fitness instructor

supervisor

colleague

fellow student

performer.

Resistance training exercisesmay be:

isotonic, i.e. body part is moving against the force

isometric, i.e. body part is holding still against the force.

Apparatus may include:

exercise equipment, such as:

weights

balls

exercise machines, such as:

rowers

weight machines

bullworker.

Muscular control means:

performing exercises at the correct speed

maintaining the correct joint angles.
