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

Locate, interpret and apply information relevant to selection and use of materials, fasteners, hardware and adhesives for piano repair and manufacture

Identify, select and apply at least 3 types of fasteners and adhesives to appropriate materials

Identify surface coatings and finishes used in piano repair and manufacture

Communicate and work with others in the work area

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