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

Evidence of the following is essential:

styrene shapes produced and suspended in vertical and horizontal formats

display cards suspended in vertical and horizontal formats

visual displays incorporating suspension and under-staging techniques for a range of product categories

individual visual displays to demonstrate the effective use of colour and the application of design principles of flow, unity and depth in their composition and grouping

adherence to safe working practices.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

a real or simulated retail or exhibition work environment.

relevant documentation, such as:
