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 in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

production of illustrative work which demonstrates the application of selected techniques and which is consistent with the requirements of the brief.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

practical demonstration of skills through the production of illustrative work to meet the requirements of a brief.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

evaluation of illustrative work produced by the candidate

questioning and discussion

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

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).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to safely produce illustrative work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to interpret a brief and to communicate ideas for illustrative work

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities, costs, layout issues.

Required knowledge:

techniques, materials, tools and equipment and their application to illustrative work

types of briefs for illustrative work

formal elements and principles of design in relation to illustrative work

general knowledge about illustrators, their ideas, techniques and work

history and theory of design in relation to illustrative work

copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues and legislation and their relevance to illustrative work.

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.
