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.

Overview of assessment

The meat industry has specific and clear requirements for evidence. A minimum of three forms of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in the meat industry. This is specifically designed to provide evidence that covers the demonstration in the workplace of all aspects of competency over time.

These requirements are in addition to the requirements for valid, current, authentic and sufficient evidence.

Three forms of evidence means three different kinds of evidence – not three pieces of the same kind. In practice it will mean that most of the Unit is covered twice. This increases the legitimacy of the evidence.

All assessment must be conducted against Australian meat industry standards and regulations.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this Unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

confirm producer requirements

schedule delivery.

Assessment must confirm knowledge of:

the NLIS system, including the origin and nature of the system, its commercial importance, role in food safety and importing country requirements, role in traceability

NLIS regulatory requirements in relation to abattoirs

workplace procedures

the role of the NVD

the importance of the information recorded on the NVD

role and responsibilities of regulators, and other bodies such as MLA in relation to NLIS.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must be conducted in the workplace.

Resources may include:

enterprise work instructions

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) NLIS assistance

manufacturer's instructions.

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

workplace referee’s report

knowledge test

on-the-job demonstration with assessor observation.

Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality or Torres Strait Islander, gender, or language backgrounds other than English. Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role.
