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.

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

Interpret work order, locate materials and use information to complete tasks in constructing vertical style blinds

Apply safe handling practices and safe operating procedures for equipment, products and materials to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

Identify materials and equipment used in constructing vertical style blinds

Select, set up and maintain equipment in accordance with manufacturer specifications and workplace practices

Communicate and work with others in the work area

Report process for materials faults, damaged products or equipment

Follow operating procedures to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

Maintain equipment to ensure production output and product quality

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Report process or materials faults, damaged products or equipment

Cut fabrics accurately according to work orders
