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 artistic and technical requirements of the production/event

ability to create and update accurate and clear cue reference material from a source document, and to rehearse/action cues to meet production requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the plotting and rehearsal of cues for at least two different productions

development of cue reference material within commercially realistic time constraints

actioning of cues during an actual performance.

Because this unit can cover a broad range of industry contexts, assessment should be tailored to address the particular technical area or job role.

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 cue reference materials prepared by the candidate

project activity to allow the candidate to create and update cue reference materials for different performance contexts

written or oral questioning to test knowledge of production elements, document formats

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:

source material such as a script or event running sheet from which the candidate can plot cues.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

literacy skills sufficient to interpret production documentation

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate measurements

health and safety requirements for technical rehearsals

Required knowledge

typical format and content of scripts, production schedules or other production documentation relevant to the technical area

notations used to map technical elements to create accurate cue reference materials

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

particular knowledge of the technical area of responsibility, e.g. staging, stage management, lighting, sound, audiovisual

nature of technical rehearsals, including different rehearsal types, ways they are run and the role of different production personnel at each stage

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.
