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!

CUVACD301A - Produce drawings to communicate ideas

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan drawing work

  1. Explore drawing requirements with reference to relevant reference material and appropriate people when required
  2. Identify factors that may impact on how drawing work is undertaken
  3. Gather information about drawing techniques, materials and equipment from a range of sources and determine how they may be used to communicate ideas
  4. Evaluate information for its application to specific drawing briefs

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 ability to:

produce a series of drawings that:

show a command of selected techniques

successfully communicate the required ideas.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment and materials required to produce drawings.

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 observation of the development of drawings

evaluation of drawings in terms of their effectiveness in communicating ideas

questioning and discussion about candidate’s intentions and the work outcome

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to impart information through drawing

learning skills to improve own drawing technique through feedback and experimentation

literacy skills to interpret varied information about drawing as a visual representation tool

numeracy skills to:

determine layout issues

calculate measurements

planning and organising skills to:

organise resources

prepare drawings for presentation

problem-solving skills to select drawing techniques that best meet project needs

technical skills to use a range of drawing techniques.

Required knowledge

physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used in drawing

different approaches to drawing and how other practitioners use drawing to represent ideas

cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools used in drawing

elements and principles of design and their specific application to drawing

intellectual property issues and legislation in relation to drawing

ways to minimise waste in drawing projects

OHS issues associated with tools and materials used for drawing.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
