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 describes the underpinning knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated to prove competence. it is essential for assessment and must be read conjunction in conjunction with the performance criteria, the range statement and the assessment guidelines of the relevant training package

Overview of assessment requirements

The assessment should confirm the ability to develop or improve a process layout in a jobbing or process manufacturing enterprise

What are the specific resource requirements for this unit?

Access to an organisation developing or redesigning its process layout.

What critical aspects of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in this unit?

Evidence of process layout or layouts undertaken should be available.

In what context should assessment occur?

Assessment will need to occur in an organisation developing or improving its process layout. Assessment could also be undertaken by project work or simulation provided adequate opportunity to test the practicality of the developed layouts exist.

Are there any other units which could or should be assessed with this unit or which relate directly to this unit?

What method of assessment should apply?

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria, skills and knowledge. A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors should gather sufficient, fair, valid, reliable, authentic and current evidence from a range of sources. Sources of evidence may include direct observation, reports from supervisors, peers and colleagues, project work, samples, organisation records and questioning. Assessment should not require language, literacy or numeracy skills beyond those required for the unit.

The assessee will have access to all techniques, procedures, information, resources and aids which would normally be available in the workplace.

The method of assessment should be discussed and agreed with the assessee prior to the commencement of the assessment.

What evidence is required for demonstration of consistent performance?

Generally one significant process layout project should generate sufficient evidence
