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.

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

identify appropriate materials for use in making cloth items, and any special sewing or handling requirements for those materials.

apply safe operating and handling practices for equipment, products and materials.

interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information.

use patterns select and use tools and equipment appropriate to the task.

follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

prevent damage to goods, equipment or products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self or others.

work effectively with others.

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment.

report process or materials faults, damaged products or equipment.

Assessment must confirm appropriate knowledge and skills to:

follow workplace procedures for hazard identification and risk control

use relevant personal protective clothing and equipment

communicate effectively with others as required when following safety procedures

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Consistently applies required knowledge and skills when completing workplace hazard prevention tasks and following relevant procedures:

Consistently shows evidence of application of relevant workplace procedures, policies, instructions and regulations, including:

OHS regulations and hazard prevention policies and procedures
