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:

application of safe work practices

demonstration of safe preparation and construction/assembly of accommodation for the display of cultural material

knowledge of equipment, methods and materials commonly used for display (relevant to the work context).

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

use of current industry display equipment and systems

access to relevant policies and procedures manuals

access to equipment, tools and materials used for display of a collection.

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

direct observation of the candidate completing construction/assembly tasks

inspection of construction/assembly work completed by the candidate

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of safety issues, equipment features.

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

CUFSAF01B Follow health, safety and security procedures

CULMS407C Install and dismantle exhibition elements

units from the BCG03 General Construction Industry Training Package.

It is recommended that this unit be assessed with or after units that focus on the use of tools, e.g.:

MEM18.1C Use hand tools

MEM18.2B Use power tools/hand held operations.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

planning and organisational skills to organise equipment, materials and logical work plan for construction of display accommodation

communication skills to liaise and agree on work requirements with other museum colleagues

literacy skills to interpret drawings, work plans and exhibition documentation

numeracy skills to calculate measurements.

Required knowledge

features and uses of different types of mounting and display equipment and their suitability for different types of cultural material

display of material

construction and assembly techniques for commonly used display structures

ways of adapting or modifying existing structures to provide accommodation for new cultural material

safe work and manual handling practices.
