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

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

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

Work with the client to develop and confirm a laundry design brief

Apply spatial considerations to laundry design

Develop laundry layout to meet client brief

Apply regulatory considerations for laundry designs

Document laundry design in drawings and specifications

Context of and specific resources for assessment

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

work tools and equipment

work related information resources

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 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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Accessing and interpreting workplace information

Applying safety procedures

Communicating with clients

Generating ideas

Analysing

Measuring and calculating

Costing and associated calculations

Negotiation skills

Drawing skills

Accurately recording and maintaining information relating to the project

Required knowledge

Features of laundry designs and components

State or territory occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to laundry designs

Characteristics of storage, appliance and service options

Spatial planning considerations for laundry designs

Information resources

Drawing protocols and symbols

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.
