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:

ability to use techniques materials and equipment safely for the construction of props

knowledge of the properties and applications of different materials, tools, equipment for different types of props.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the use of techniques, materials and equipment to construct a prop.

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 the candidate using particular techniques, tools and equipment

evaluation of items constructed by the candidate in terms of quality of finish

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of materials and safety issues

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

Guidance information for assessment

This unit requires access to:

materials, tools and equipment commonly used for props construction

a workspace in which props can be constructed safely.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

literacy skills sufficient to interpret props documentation and read product labels

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities of materials and take basic measurements

Required knowledge

the scope of props items that may be constructed and the factors that impact on whether to construct or acquire by other means

the properties and applications of materials commonly used for prop construction, including paper, latex, foam, canvas and leather

the properties and applications of contact adhesives commonly used for props construction

types of tools commonly used for props construction

safety and environmental issues associated with the use of tools, materials and adhesives

techniques for the manipulation of materials commonly used in prop construction

the links between the intended use of a prop and the selection of materials and construction method

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.

Props requiring construction may include a vast range of items but props construction at this level would generally involve the use of:

adhesives (e.g. PVA glue, liquid nails)

canvas

foam

latex

leather

paper

Equipment and tools for prop construction may include:

hand tools

power tools

scissors/cutters

sewing machines

Safety procedures associated with the use of props construction materials may include:

adherence to product instruction

ensuring adequate ventilation

warning colleagues about use of specific chemicals

wearing of protective clothing

Typical problems that may occur in props construction may include:

difficulty in achieving sufficient adhesion

need to change combinations of materials
