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

Competency must be demonstrated in the ability to dispose of assets consistently and in accordance with legislative and organisational requirements.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

use different methods to identify assets for disposal

develop a strategy for the disposal of assets that considers all relevant disposal options

develop a disposal strategy, which may be from a template

implement a disposal strategy

review the disposal activity and make recommendations about improvements that could be implemented in future disposals

act within own delegations and refer issues to higher authority when necessary.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated by providing evidence of undertaking a range of relevant work tasks in an actual or simulated procurement environment on at least two separate occasions.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The unit of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated workplace environment.

Access may be required to:

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

questions to assess understanding of relevant legislation and procedures

review of strategies and approaches adopted for disposal of assets

review of disposal plans, plans for disposing of specific classes of assets, budgets, contracts, risk assessments and other documentation prepared by the candidate in a range of contexts
