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

Critical aspects of assessment must include evidence of the ability to prepare and manufacture chocolate products including: implementing process control procedures and data collection; diagnosing and reporting problems; carrying out sensory evaluation and product testing; and reviewing the production system for food safety and quality and environmental impact.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of performance requirements in this unit should be undertaken within the context of food technology. Competency is demonstrated by performance of all stated criteria, including the critical aspects and knowledge and skills elaborated in the Evidence Guide, and within the scope as defined by the Range Statements applicable to the workplace environment.

Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:

Production process and related equipment, manufacturers’ advice and operating procedures

Methods and related software systems as required for collecting data and calculating yields, efficiencies and material variances appropriate to production environment

Tests used to report relevant product/process information and recorded results

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

Observation of candidate carrying out product development and conducting a range of tests and procedures

Written and/or oral questioning to assess knowledge and understanding

Completing workplace documentation

Third party reports from experienced practitioner

Case studies

Field Reports

Guidance information for assessment

Evidence should be gathered over a period of time in a range of actual or simulated environments.

safe systems of work.

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.

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.

Policies and procedures

Work is carried out according to company procedures, regulatory and licensing requirements, legislative requirements, and industrial awards and agreements.

Legislation

Legislative requirements are typically reflected in procedures and specifications. Legislation relevant to this industry includes the Food Standards Code including labelling, weights and measures legislation; and legislation covering food safety, environmental management, occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity.

OHS requirements

legislation, regulations, Codes of practice

safety data sheets (SDSs)

enterprise and process specific occupational health and safety requirements

Chocolate products

Chocolate products include all confectionery products that include chocolate or compound chocolate in a recognisable solid form including moulded bars, blocks or shapes, moulded and enrobed filled chocolate pieces, hollow goods such as eggs or seasonal figures, and deposited items such as drops or nut clusters. Chocolate products can be consumed as is or included as a centre for further processes such as sugar panning.
