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:

produce multiple wooden objects where the techniques and materials support the ideas for the work

apply knowledge of woodworking tools, equipment and materials.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

equipment and materials used to produce wood objects.

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 woodworking in progress

questioning and discussion of the candidate’s intentions and work

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:

CUVPRP201A Make simple creative work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

discuss the process for producing wooden objects with others

understand and follow instructions

learning skills to:

improve techniques for producing wooden objects through practice

respond appropriately to feedback

literacy skills to read product and equipment safety labels

numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials

planning and organising skills to prepare and set up resources and work space.

Required knowledge

materials, tools and equipment commonly used for woodworking

major styles of woodworking and the work of key practitioners relevant to individual area of interest

typical work space and equipment requirements for the production of different types of wooden objects

cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools and equipment used in woodworking

elements and principles of design – what they are and what they mean

intellectual property considerations for any person making creative work

ways of minimising waste in the use of woodworking tools, materials and equipment

OHS procedures that apply to woodwork.

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. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Tools and equipment may include:

fastening and fitting tools

fixed equipment

hand tools

marking-out devices

measuring devices

portable equipment

power tools

protective equipment

specialised items for:

branding

carving

engraving

shaping

trimming

wood turning.

Materials may include:

finishing materials:

lacquers

paints

sandpapers

stains

wood

wood products.

Workplace procedures may relate to:
