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!

FNSIGN401A - Provide technical guidance

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Assist repairer with service/repair work

  1. Technical guidance, appropriate to skill level and need, is provided to repairer when determining the repair/service needed
  2. Repairers with appropriate advanced technical competency are used as a point of reference when required
  3. Technical assistance is provided to repairer, when needed, to identify any difficult faults
  4. Assistance is provided to repairer during work completion, when needed, to ensure technical requirements are met
  5. Potential faults are recognised before they develop and precautionary steps are taken to prevent them
  6. Problems arising from the repair procedure are addressed appropriately during the course of the repair
Technical guidance, appropriate to skill level and need, is provided to repairer when determining the repair/service needed

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:

maintain and apply advanced technical competency in areas of expertise

to assist repairer with service/repair work

provide technical information to repairer.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

competency is demonstrated in the context of the work environment and conditions specified in the range statement either in a relevant workplace or a closely simulated work environment

access to and the use of a range of common office equipment, technology, software and consumables

access to organisation records

access to organisational policies and procedures.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples, in combination, are appropriate for this unit:

evaluating an integrated activity, which combines the elements of competency for the unit, or a cluster of related units of competency

observing processes and procedures in workplaces

verbal or written questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills

evaluating samples of work

accessing and validating third party reports.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge
