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:

research, identify, test and apply lighting techniques and technology

implement OHS and quality control procedures when applying lighting techniques and technology

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 photo imaging shoots

a range of photo imaging production equipment, such as cameras, computers, software, printers, lighting and accessories

sources of information on allied industries’ lighting techniques and technology

sources of information on lighting techniques and technology, such as magazines, newspapers, libraries and internet

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

opportunity for collaboration with or in allied industries, such asscientific, technical, film, television and theatre

the use of culturally appropriate processes, and techniques appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the candidate 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

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners

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

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

problem-solving activities to assess candidate’s critical thinking skills.

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:

CUVPHI516A Research the role and use of the photo image in visual communication

CUVPHI517A Research and exploit photo imaging trends

CUVPHI519A Investigate and exploit innovative imaging options.

critical thinking skills to:

reflect on and analyse own performance

recognise barriers to innovative possibilities arising from lighting techniques and technology

literacy skills to:
