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

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

technical knowledge of the operating functions of a range of audiovisual equipment

correct interpretation of vision system plans

knowledge of occupational health and safety principles, procedures and regulations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

the installation and testing of a variety of vision systems, including sound, lighting and projection equipment

completion of installation and testing tasks within typical workplace time constraints

installation and testing of equipment according to more than one plan to ensure that skills can be adapted to different contexts and vision system requirements

use of industry-current equipment.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess practical skills and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

direct observation of installation and testing tasks conducted by the candidate

project or role play activities which allow the candidate to demonstrate skills in interpreting plans and choosing correct equipment

written or oral questioning to test knowledge of typical vision systems

written or oral questioning to test knowledge of occupational health and safety issues and regulations

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands 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

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

vision system plans

a range of standard industry-current vision systems

a venue where vision systems can be installed and tested.

Required Skills and Knowledge
