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!

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: undertake pre construction checks to ensure safe working environment construct foundations according to engineering specifications select site for hoisting equipment ensuring location is safe for the operator and the construction preassemble structure at ground level ensuring completion of each assembled component assemble and mount a telecommunications radio structure, including temporary and permanent guy anchors install functional and protective earthing systems following security and safety procedures.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure: site where telecommunications radio structures may be constructed rigging and safety equipment currently used in industry relevant regulations, standards specifications and manuals.
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 the candidate assembling and mounting a telecommunications radio structure oral or written questioning of the candidate to assess OHS requirements and work practices associated with constructing a telecommunications radio structure.
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: ICTCBL3020A Construct aerial cable supports. Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues. Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required. Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
