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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

ensure all permissions, authorities, clearances and approvals are obtained,

ensure all resources are available for the exercise, and

the pace of the exercise proceeds appropriately to achieve the objectives

Consistency in performance

Candidates should be expected to present evidence of managing two different types of exercise, including at least one exercise that requires multi-agency or organisation input.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

This competency cannot be assessed in a simulated environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to real-life exercises, including supporting resources.

Method of assessment

This unit contains transferable skills, such as communication, consultation, and logistic management skills that can be applied to managing an emergency management exercise. Assessors may use formative assessment strategies in a simulated environment to contextualise underpinning knowledge.

Summative assessment requires application of the unit to manage exercises in the workplace. Evidence of performance can be gathered by:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions

consult with stakeholders

manage and direct activity personnel

plan and deliver briefings and debriefings

manage the pace and intensity of the exercise
