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.

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:

knowledge of electricity as it relates to floor electrics

applying safe procedures for working with electricity

communicating effectively with colleagues and customers within the range of situations defined for the job role.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

demonstration of skills in operating floor electrics for an actual performance on more than one occasion

demonstration of skills in multiple performance contexts and with different types of floor electrics

involvement of and interaction with a team to reflect the collaborative nature of the technical production process

use of industry-current equipment.

Method of assessment

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

direct observation of a performance where the candidate is responsible for the operation of floor electrics

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of equipment types and features and safety issues

case studies or problem solving exercises to assess the candidate's ability to respond to different operational situations and contexts

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 (eg 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).

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

a venue that has the capacity for floor electrics operation

floor electrics equipment and consumables

cueing and other production documentation from which floor electrics are operated

a production on which the candidate can work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required knowledge:

major types of floor electrics equipment and their uses in different production contexts

lighting terminology particularly in relation to the operation of floor electrics

operation features and functions of a range of floor electrics

occupational health and safety requirements particularly in relation to the operation of floor electrics

relationship of floor electrics to other lighting and staging effects.

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.

Relevant personnel may include:

designer

director

head of department

stage manager

supervisor

other specialist staff.

Consumables may include:
