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:

develop a set of actions to enhance the environmental sustainability of individual practice

apply knowledge of key aspects of sustainability in the relevant area of creative practice.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

industry networks and information.

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:

evaluation of presentation or documentation prepared by the candidate detailing plans to achieve an environmentally sustainable practice

participation in discussions with the candidate and others about sustainability issues in a given area

review of written or verbal reports developed by the candidate

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to work with others to positively influence sustainability

critical thinking and analytical skills to reflect on the ways that the individual practice can be made more sustainable

initiative and enterprise skills to develop new ideas for developing sustainable practice

learning and self-management skills to engage in and commit to an ongoing process of enhanced sustainability

literacy skills to interpret varied information on sustainability issues

numeracy skills to measure resource usage in current practice

planning and organising skills to develop and action strategies about sustainability

problem-solving skills to find different and more sustainable approaches to work

technology skills to use the internet as a research tool

Required knowledge

sources of raw materials used in the relevant area of creative practice
