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:

access sources of information relevant to own Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander identity

access and use information in a culturally appropriate way.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment ensure:

involvement of persons approved of by Elders of the relevant local community

access to information sources on relevant regions and countries.

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:

observation of candidate discussing issues with Elders and community members

evaluation of information gathered by the candidate

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge as listed in the required knowledge section of this unit

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, for example units that describe work functions where there is a very strong link between cultural identity and the work being performed, such as:

Indigenous dance units in CUA11 Live Performance Training Package

art form specialisation units in CUV11 Visual Arts, Craft and Design Training Package

tour guiding units in SIT07 Tourism, Hospitality and Events Training Package.

Required Skills and Knowledge

communication skills to discuss with appropriate persons issues, such as:

Aboriginality and the concept of cultural diversity within an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander context

cultural values that underpin aspects of one’s local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community

family units and broader social organisational aspects of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander communities

organising skills to collect and review information on Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander culture

Required knowledge

own country and region, including customs, ceremonies and relationship to land

ways in which Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander protocols and cultural values impact on work practices in different contexts

issues of intellectual property and culturally appropriate commercial activity.
