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:

restoration of moving images that demonstrates an ability to:

use moving image restoration equipment appropriately

judge image quality for artefacts, stability, and frame rate

connect and use a range of external media

understand and use image data

correctly interpret production schedules/instructions

work to deadlines

a collaborative approach to work

attention to detail.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to appropriate moving image restoration hardware, software and tools

access to suitable image data to restore

access to variety of external media types

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 a review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance

direct observation of performance during a series of practical demonstrations using restoration equipment

written or verbal questioning to test knowledge as listed in the required skills and knowledge section of this unit.

Guidance information for assessment

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

CUFPOS301A Prepare motion picture film for printing or transfer

CUFPOS403A Colour grade moving images.

Required Skills and Knowledge
