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

Critical aspects of evidence

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

identify test specifications relevant to textile processes

conduct a range of routine tests on textile materials

interpret test specifications and outcomes accurately

recognise deviations in test results

record information accurately

apply OHS practices in work operations

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing all aspects of test process

working systematically with attention to detail

identifying unacceptable deviations in test results

identifying improvements and avoiding damage

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment
