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

Evidence of the following is essential:

ability to research, identify, test and apply lighting techniques and technology

ability to implement OHS/quality control procedures when applying lighting techniques and technology

ability to review personal performance when applying lighting techniques and technology.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to a range of locations and studios for photoimaging shoots

access to a range of photoimaging production equipment (e.g. cameras, computers, software, printers, studios, lighting and accessories)

access to sources of information on allied industries' lighting techniques and technology

access to sources of information on lighting techniques and technology (e.g. magazines, newspapers, libraries, internet)

opportunity for collaboration with or in allied industries (e.g. scientific, technical, film, television, theatre)

access to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

the use of culturally appropriate processes, and techniques appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed.

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 questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by candidate

direct observation of candidate applying lighting techniques and technology, implementing OHS/quality control processes and meeting deadlines

case studies to assess candidate's ability to evaluate lighting techniques and technology and their suitability to historical and contemporary contexts and themes

problem solving activities to assess candidate's critical thinking skills.

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