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!

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

access and employ a range of features of presentation software applications to produce a workplace document

develop several workplace documents with minimal instruction on their design from end user or supervisor.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

organisational requirements and a template for the documents

personal computer, scanner and laser printer

word-processing facilities

presentation software applications

appropriate learning and assessment support when required.

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 candidate designing and configuring document templates using applications

review of documents prepared by candidate aligning to organisational requirements

verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of organisational requirements for documents.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
