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!

CUAPRP402 - Use casting and moulding techniques to make props

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

Determine prop requirements

  1. Confirm prop production requirements in consultation with relevant colleagues and with reference to props documentation
  2. Decide which casting and moulding techniques are best suited to the types of props required

Prepare for prop construction

  1. Select most appropriate mould based on an analysis of how prop items are to be used and the advantages and disadvantages of different options
  2. Take budget and timelines into account when making decisions about constructing props
  3. Select tools, equipment and materials appropriate to the casting or moulding technique to be used
  4. Calculate quantities of required materials, avoiding waste where possible

Construct props

  1. Use techniques, tools and materials to create moulds and casts, ensuring that safety procedures are followed at all times
  2. Check items produced in terms of durability, quality of finish and suitability for production requirements
  3. Seek feedback on work in progress and adjust techniques as required
  4. Prepare items in readiness for finishing, according to production requirements
  5. Contribute to evaluation of prop construction processes and note ways to improve own work performance

Evidence of the ability to:

use casting and moulding techniques to produce a range of props that meet the requirements of at least two productions

follow safety procedures

meet work deadlines

work collaboratively.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.

To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

provide reasons for the use of particular materials and techniques for different production requirements

provide examples of different types of moulds

describe issues and challenges that typically arise when using casting and moulding techniques to construct props, and suggest ways to address them

describe safety and environmental issues associated with materials and equipment used in casting and moulding.
