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:

knowledge of different props acquisition sources and options

ability to use research techniques to source props which meet production requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the sourcing of props to meet the needs of a particular production

sourcing of props within realistic workplace timeframes.

Method of assessment

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

evaluation of props sourced by the candidate for a given production

case studies to assess ability to source props for different styles of production

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the scope of props possibilities and sources of props

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).

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

sources/locations of props.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

research skills in relation to the ability to research options for props acquisition

literacy skills sufficient to interpret production documentation and other information from a wide range of sources

numeracy skills sufficient to work with props costings

Required knowledge

the wide and varying scope of props, including broad categories of props and the role of 'one-off' specialist items

typical sources of information on props

sources of different types of props, including both period and contemporary items

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.

Production requirements may include:

director's specifications

length of the run of the show

occupational and health and safety requirements
