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

Evidence of the following is essential:

completion of lighting-related tasks according to health and safety procedures

recognition of lighting equipment, including key features and purpose.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

practical demonstration of skills through the completion of a range of preparatory and set-up tasks with industry-standardlighting equipment

project or work activities that allow knowledge to be applied to specific production contexts and situations

access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance

direct observation of the candidate completing lighting-related tasks

inspection of equipment set up by the candidate to determine whether set-up meets production requirements

verbal or written questioning to assess knowledge of equipment types.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

CUSOHS301A Follow occupational Health and safety procedures

CUETGE15B Handle physical elements safely during bump in/bump out.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

effective communication, literacy and teamwork skills sufficient to:

work effectively as a member of a production team

interpret lighting plans

understand use of scale, lighting symbols and notation conventions

technical skills sufficient to:

operate a lighting desk at a basic level

undertake basic maintenance of lighting components, e.g. replacing bulbs, checking condition of cables

numeracy skills sufficient to:

count and sort equipment and use numerical features of lighting desks

understand and calculate power loadings (amperage)

Required knowledge

the general scope and potential of lighting operations within different production contexts, e.g. theatre, music, corporate, film and television

basic understanding of electrical theory, e.g. watts, amps, kilowatts

roles and responsibilities of lighting technicians in different contexts, including career paths

the relationship between lighting operations and other technical and performance areas, including audio, vision systems and performance

lighting system options in a range of venue types

colour recognition

specialised terminology that applies to lighting operations

general features of lanterns and accessories, dimmers and control systems

overview of different types of automated lights and the special requirements of this type of technology, including:

rigging orientation

powering

requirement for data supply and fixture addressing

overview of appropriate use of standard pump-propelled glycol-based atmospheric (smoke) effects

requirements for storage of lighting equipment

OHS legislation and enterprise standards in relation to lighting operations, e.g. electrical restrictions
