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:

output a body of images that demonstrates command of enhancement and manipulation techniques

apply knowledge of processes and options for the enhancement of photo images.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

relevant photo imaging materials, tools and equipment.

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 candidate using processing and outputting techniques

evaluation of photographs produced by the candidate

case studies and scenarios as a basis for discussion of issues and challenges that arise in the context of image production

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:

CUVPHI303A Process photo images to work-print and file stage.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

literacy skills to interpret written instructions, safety procedures and technical data

learning skills to experiment with a range of processing techniques

numeracy skills to:

interpret technical charts and diagrams

calculate and measure materials required for image processing

planning and organising skills to set up equipment in a logical sequence

self-management skills to:

comply with OHS requirements

work within required time parameters

technical skills to use equipment and materials to enhance photo images.

Required knowledge

physical properties and capabilities of the equipment and materials used in photo imaging for image enhancement, manipulation and output

characteristics of different materials under different treatments and the potential of these characteristics to achieve different effects

elements and principles of design and how they may be used and adapted for image processing

intellectual property issues and legislation associated with image enhancement, manipulation and output

sustainability considerations associated with photo imaging materials and equipment used in images

OHS procedures in relation to photo imaging work.
