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

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to define and identify risk language, definitions and terminology. Evidence must also be provided of stakeholders’ involvement throughout the treatment process and that an informed analysis and selection of treatment options has been undertaken using the methodology and procedures approved by the organisation.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated by gathering evidence over a range of workplace scenarios, using a variety of tools and methodology and should include the assessment of a variety of risks that may adversely impact on the organisation.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or under conditions that closely simulate the workplace.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to:

organisational documentation

relevant organisational standards

appropriate tools and methods used within the organisation

simulated or real-world workplace

Guidance information for assessment

Valid assessment of this unit requires:

a workplace environment or one that closely resembles normal work practice and replicates the range of conditions likely to be encountered when applying the principles of treating operational risk, including coping with difficulties, irregularities and breakdowns in routine

application of the principles of treating operational risk in a range of 3 or more contexts or occasions, over time

Assessment methods should reflect but not exceed workplace demands, such as literacy, and the needs of individuals who might be disadvantaged.

Assessment methods suitable for valid and reliable assessment of this unit must use authenticated evidence from the workplace and/or training courses and should include a combination of two or more of:

workplace projects

simulation or role plays

case studies and scenarios

observation

portfolios

managing own tasks within time frame

using consultation and negotiation skills, particularly in relation to developing plans and implementing and monitoring designated actions

contributing to the assessment of the resources needed to systematically treat risks and, where appropriate, access resources

manage simple project implementation

interpreting information and data to identify areas for improvement

using language and literacy skills appropriate to the workgroup and the task

using basic computer and information technology skills to access internal and external information and data on risk

undertaking basic research to access relevant information and data

paying attention to detail when making observations and recording outcomes

Required Knowledge
