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

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

Evidence of the following is essential:

developing a professional research capability to support professional practice

understanding and apply effective styles of leadership according to organisation’s requirements and professional standards, which contributes to the positive influence and development of others

understanding and applying different theories and thinking on design and creativity which contributes to the positive creative development of others.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

a range of real work situations which includes involvement in other related activities relevant to this environment

the full range of background information required to evaluate the operational factors that will affect the implementation of concepts

interaction with others to reflect the collaborative nature of the concept development process.

For further guidance on the use of an appropriate simulated environment, refer to the Assessment Guidelines in this Training Package.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct observation of leadership style and effectiveness in the work environment over sufficient time to demonstrate their handling of a range of contingencies. Tasks may include:

presenting ways of generating innovative and creative thinking to an audience

assessing and interpreting organisational standards and values

using coaching and mentoring skills to provide support to others

case studies that include performance reviews

review of portfolios of evidence and third-party reports of on-the-job performance.

Guidance information for assessment

A unit of competency describes an individual skill but people rarely perform one skill at a time. Many skills are combined on a day-to-day basis in the workplace as part of work processes. This does not mean that each skill described by a unit of competency is prerequisite to another—they are related skills.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

SIHHTLS707A Plan and deliver professional hairdressing presentations

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication and teamwork skills to provide innovative and creative leadership to encourage and develop others effectively

critical thinking skills to analyse complex information, and to develop and substantiate own positions and responses to theories and thinking around leadership, design and creativity

literacy skills to:

research information dealing with complex leadership, design and creativity concepts and theories

communicate information and ideas clearly and effectively

self-management skills to develop and substantiate own views and ideas

Required knowledge

different theories of leadership, including different historical perspectives and current and emerging thinking

relationship between theories and practice of leadership in a particular work or broader social context

theories of design and creativity, including different historical perspectives and current and emerging thinking

relationships, similarities and differences at a conceptual and practical level between the concepts of innovation and creativity

external environmental scanning relating to social, political, economic and technological developments
