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 of evidence

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials

Adopt and carry out correct procedures prior to and during use of the hand and power tools prescribed in the Range Statement

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Indicate compliance with organisational policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements

Resource implications

Soft furnishing sector hand and power tools, materials used in the manufacturing and/or installation of soft furnishing products.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

collect and understand information related to the use and maintenance of hand and power tools

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of faults and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of tools

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using co-operative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements and estimate material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate tool handling problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use workplace technology related to the use and operator maintenance of hand and power tools and associated materials
