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!

  2. Project objectives are researched, a design brief developed and instigated
  3. Ideas for concept development are shared and worked through
  4. Concepts are critiqued and final outcomes agreed upon in accordance with the elements of design and principles of design
  5. Management systems are set in place, plan developed and quality control measures adopted for the project
  6. Type and quantity of material to be used is debated, agreed and obtained
  7. Equipment requirements are debated and selected appropriate to project requirements
  8. Project manufacturing procedures are debated and final manufacturing processes agreed including assembly techniques and finishing methods
  9. Distribution channels, marketing and despatch strategies are debated and instigated
  10. Final presentation of the project is made displaying respect for all collaborators

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the relevant Training Package.

Overview of assessment

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

Effectively work collaboratively on a design project in accordance with client requirements, setting a project plan and design brief

Effectively apply design elements and principles to working collaboratively on a design project

Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures for working collaboratively on a design project

Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace

Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context

Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials and equipment relevant to working collaboratively on a design project

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
