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:

correct interpretation of production/event call material

ability to provide clear and accurate announcements

close monitoring of the performance/production/event and ability to keep time so that cues and announcements are provided at the appropriate time.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the calling of at least two different productions/events that comprise multiple technical and performance elements

interaction with and involvement of a production and performance team to whom calls would be provided

presence of time pressures involved in providing announcements and verbal cues.

Method of assessment

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

review of call notes prepared by the candidate

evaluation of a production/event which the candidate is responsible for calling

project activity to allow the candidate to interpret and make changes to production/event call materials

role plays involving production and artistic team members for the relay and receipt of the calls

written or oral questioning to test knowledge of artistic and technical requirements of the production/event

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:

production/event call material on which to base the announcements

industry current communication equipment used to call a production/event

an event/production venue, eg live theatre, convention centre.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

effective communication techniques in relation to calling the technical aspects of a production, including the differing needs of various production personnel

contingency management techniques in relation to the need for timely adjustments and interventions to maintain quality

Required knowledge

typical format and content of production/event call material

the role of the calling process within a live production/event

general understanding of how communication equipment works and ability to identify faults

broad understanding of artistic and technical elements of the production event such as staging, lighting and sound elements

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 call reference material may be:

incorporated with prompt reference material, cue sheet, running sheet, script or score

notated production running list/sheet

scripted

unscripted

Appropriate checks prior to making announcements may include:
