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.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

development and realisation of creative exhibition design concepts which assist in the realisation of the overall exhibition concept and which address operational requirements and constraints

effective communication, negotiation and project management skills to facilitate the design process

research skills, including creative interpretation and adaptation of design concepts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment over an extended period of time to reflect the nature of the design process and to assess the experimental and implementation aspects of this unit

involvement of, and interaction with, an exhibition team to reflect the collaborative nature of the design process

access to an exhibition venue

access to resources for both the development and realisation of designs (collection items, equipment, materials, financial and human resources).

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 by the candidate

evaluation of an exhibition design for which the candidate has been responsible in terms of meeting concept and resource practicality

evaluation of reports produced by the candidate which demonstrate the processes used in developing and realising the creative concept, including challenges faced and how these were resolved

oral or written questioning aimed at evaluating the processes used in developing and realising the creative concept.

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

CUEDES04B Establish and refine a brief

CUEDES05B Manage design realisation

CUEFIN01C Develop a budget

CUEFIN02C Manage a budget

CUVCOR09B Select and apply drawing techniques and media to represent and communicate the concept

CUVDSP15B Research and apply techniques for application to spatial design.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication, negotiation and leadership skills to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders on complex design issues and challenges

creative and critical thinking skills to explore, develop, test and challenge design ideas and concepts

planning and organisational skills to integrate a wide range of conceptual, operational and business factors to realise design implementation

problem-solving skills to pro-actively interrogate the quality and effectiveness of ideas and designs, and to develop creative solutions to complex challenges

research skills to determine appropriate source and critically evaluate and adapt information to exhibition design

literacy skills to analyse and communicate information dealing with complex concepts

numeracy skills to work with budgets, including estimating and adjusting costs.

Required knowledge

role of exhibition design within the overall exhibition development process

exhibition scheduling process and its interrelationship with the design process

role of the exhibition designer, how this may differ depending upon the exhibition, and relationships with other designers and personnel

relationship between different design elements within an exhibition

copyright, moral rights and intellectual property legislation in relation to exhibition design

cultural protocols to be observed in the design process, including those relevant to the exhibition of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander material

ethical standards and protocols for designers working in exhibitions including, principles of universal access

formal principles and elements of design and their relevance to exhibition design

sources and availability of materials and equipment used for exhibition design and construction

appropriate materials to use with different collection items and impact of those materials

costing and budgeting techniques for exhibition design

communication, negotiation, presentation and project management techniques as they apply to the design process

documentation formats used for exhibition design

current and emerging technologies available to the exhibition designer

construction methods/implementation issues associated with the realisation of exhibition designs

behaviour of various materials, finishes, painting techniques and colours under lighting

overall use of artificial lighting in exhibitions and options available

properties, applications and durability of different types of materials that can be used for exhibition construction.
