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:

refers to sources on bike selection to selects a bicycle for personal use that meets the needs, size and proportions of the rider

identifies bicycle features, parts and tools and conducts routine checks and repairs on a bicycle to ensure it is suitably proportioned and in good working order

applies knowledge of bicycle functioning and safety to select and use tools to repair common bicycle deficiencies, such as a broken chain and punctured tyres.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure application of routine maintenance checks and repairs on bicycles to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

resources and information on bicycle selection

a bicycle

bicycle repair and maintenance products and equipment.

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 selecting bicycles, with evidence of reference to resources

oral and or written questioning to assess knowledge of bicycle parts and their function

observation of conducting pre-cycling routine maintenance checks and repairs on bicycle parts

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance.

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

SISOCYT202A Demonstrate basic cycling skills.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills
