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 ability to:

produce a number of technical drawings which:

show a command of selected techniques

adhere to technical drawing standards and conventions

apply knowledge of technical drawing practice, history and theory.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment and materials required to produce technical 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 technical drawing in progress

evaluation of technical drawings produced by the candidate

questioning and discussion to determine candidate’s understanding of technical drawing techniques

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

learning skills to improve own skills in technical drawing

literacy skills to interpret material required to produce technical drawings

numeracy skills to interpret and apply calculations and measurements in technical drawing

planning and organising skills to plan work tasks in a logical sequence

problem-solving skills to select technical drawing techniques that best suit the purpose and make adjustments as required

self-management skills to complete work within agreed timeframes.

Required knowledge

physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used for technical drawing work

technical drawing techniques and their application to a range of contexts and subject matter

technical drawing practices, history and theory, including current standards and conventions

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with technical drawing work

OHS procedures for technical drawing work.
