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:

understanding of the properties, applications and durability of different types of materials that can be used to make set elements

correct and safe use of techniques to construct simple set elements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through construction of set elements on more than one occasion

completion of set construction tasks 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:

direct observation of the candidate using techniques to construct set elements

evaluation of items constructed by the candidate in terms of quality finishing and appropriate structural soundness

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of set construction and stage geography terminology

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:

materials, tools and equipment required to construct simple set elements

a workspace in which construction can take place.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

literacy skills sufficient to interpret safety instructions

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities and take measurements

Required knowledge

terminology used in set construction, including types of scenery, joints and fixing systems

stage geography terminology

particular types of materials used for set construction, rationale for selection of these materials and their properties, applications and durability

particular techniques used in set construction and rationale, including common types of joints and assembly techniques

safety issues associated with the construction of sets, including various fireproofing techniques for different materials

format and meaning of technical drawings used to inform set construction

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety requirements, in particular with regard to safe manual handling techniques and working with hazardous substances

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.

Set construction techniques at this level would generally involve construction of the following:

braces

doors built into a flat

flats

flown pieces

treads

windows built into a flat

Set materials may include:

adhesives

craftwood, Masonite, plywood

fabric

fasteners

fibreglass, canvas and other fabrics

metal products, e.g.: bars, tubes, sheets, moulded or cast metal

paper

particle board

plastics, e.g.: moulded

sheet

timber

timber products

Appropriate techniques may include:

fastening

gluing

joining

metalworking, e.g.: welding, cutting

timber construction techniques, e.g. cutting

Occupational and public health and safety legislative requirements may include:

Commonwealth, State and Territory occupational health and safety regulations

relevant local government legislation and regulation

relevant national and international standards, guidelines and codes of practice, e.g. the Building Code of Australia
