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:

planning and conducting endurance training programs that meet the specific needs of individuals, groups or sports

applying effective communication techniques to instruct, monitor, motivate and evaluate multiple endurance training programs

selecting, sequencing and monitoring the safe and appropriate use of a range of current equipment in endurance training.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

demonstration of skills to plan and instruct endurance training sessions within an environment with appropriate facilities, equipment and materials such as free weight or hydraulic equipment .

Assessment must also ensure access to:

access to a range of clients with real or simulated fitness goals

access to documentation such as manufacturer specifications for equipment use.

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:

observation of interaction with a range of clients, including conveying information for safe participation in endurance training sessions and motivating clients to achieve desired outcomes

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of physiological, psychological and biomechanical changes that occur during endurance training

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of body systems, bones, joints and muscles and their relationship to effective exercise

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing work performance.

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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

establish client goals

instruct effective endurance programs

give and receive feedback

problem-solving skills to:

select and sequence appropriate endurance training activities to meet client goals

identify adjustments required as a result of client adaptation to program

planning and organising skills to:

sequence sessions within the program

ensure required equipment is available and functional

literacy and numeracy skills to enable accurate documentation of program schedules and the timely completion of sessions.

Required knowledge

the major body systems, bones, joints muscles and their function to enable the selection, instruction and adjustment of appropriate exercises to meet the needs of clients

organisational policies and procedures and legislation and regulatory requirements to enable the safe delivery of endurance training programs including the safe use of equipment and a safe learning environment

motivational techniques to provide appropriate encouragement to clients to maximise program adherence

principles of exercise planning to enable a range of activities appropriate to different client goals to be incorporated into the endurance training program to maximise client success

physiological, psychological and biomechanical changes that occur with endurance training to enable informed planning and instruction of sessions and prompt response to client difficulties during the session

injury prevention strategies and resources for endurance training programs.
