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:

knowledge of electricity as it relates to floor electrics

applying safe procedures for working with electricity

communicating effectively with colleagues and clients within the range of situations defined for the job role.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

demonstration of skills in operating floor electrics for an actual performance on more than one occasion

demonstration of skills in multiple performance contexts and with different types of floor electrics

involvement of and interaction with a team to reflect the collaborative nature of the technical production process

use of industry-standard equipment

access to a venue with the capacity for floor electrics operation

access to floor electrics equipment

access to cueing and other production documentation from which floor electrics are operated

access to a production on which the candidate can work

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
