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:

identify data processes that represent the client's business reality

model these processes according to industry and organisation standard

document the model.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment for people with special needs

client business requirements

database software

computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools or other modelling software.

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:

verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of:

process modelling

business rules

review of completed data model and associated documentation prepared by candidate.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

analytical skills to determine business requirements

communication skills to liaise with users

literacy skills to document the process model

research skills to research current industry practice

technical skills to implement process modelling using relevant methodologies, including object-oriented cooperative process modelling and OIKOS.

Required knowledge

detailed knowledge of modelling rules and conventions with reference to naming processes and events

features and functions of process mappers, e.g. IEF, Isee, ProcessWise Workbench, ARIS, and PROTOS

features of data analysis, particularly in determining process flows

processes and techniques using logical design concepts related to designing process models.

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.

Information gathering method may include:

interviews

observation

questionnaires

surveys.

Modelling may include:

activity definition report (process definition)

activity dependency diagram

activity hierarchy diagrams (process diagrams)

data flow diagrams

use case diagrams.

Client may include:

employees

external organisations

individuals

internal departments.
