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 Knowledge and Skills, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency

Evidence of the following is essential:

Assessor must be satisfied that sufficient knowledge and understanding of multimedia and related production processes (as outlined in each Element) have been demonstrated so that job procedures, requirements and modifications can be intelligently discussed in some detail with a tradesperson, programmer, technician, production manager or client

Successful assessment of Certificate III level multimedia units of competency

Evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

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 questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required Knowledge and Skills

The following knowledge must be assessed as part of this unit:

This unit underpins all Certificate III level multimedia units of competency.

The following skills must be assessed as part of this unit:

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

Communication of ideas and information by accurately using correct printing industry terminology and vocabulary

Collecting, analysing and organising information by monitoring trends within the multimedia sector on an ongoing basis to inform personal work practices

Planning and organising activities by considering and implementing, where required, basic principles of efficient production management

Teamwork when implementing procedures that ensure effective colour management

Mathematical ideas and techniques by understanding and using as required different output settings eg screen rulings and angles, shapes

Problem-solving skills by considering and implementing, where required, ways of maximising efficiency of capital and human resources during different jobs

Use of technology by understanding and applying to the development process, where applicable, multimedia platforms and computer systems requirements for different multimedia products

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. Italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Level of knowledge

Knowledge required to intelligently discuss job procedures, requirements and modifications with a tradesperson, programmer, technician, production manager or client

Degree of autonomy

Working in consultation with others
