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:

works within organisational systems to develop and implement maintenance plans to ensure that the condition and performance of stable equipment and facilities are maintained at a safe and optimal level to provide an effective service to users

communicates appropriately with staff and monitors the work of maintenance personnel and contractors to ensure quality outcomes applying OHS and safety considerations and minimal disruption of work schedules to stable users

seeks feedback on the maintenance plan and modifies as appropriate

applies effective contingency management techniques to deal with a range of maintenance scheduling issues that may affect the responses of service or stable users

works within organisational systems to develop, implement and document security plans and procedures which meet identified priorities and ensure stable security.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure documentation and implementation of maintenance and security plans and procedures which meet identified priorities to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

a private or commercial horse riding establishment with appropriate plant and equipment

resources and equipment to implement maintenance plan

horses in a recreational or training program, housed in an appropriate private or commercial environment

appropriate staff to undertake maintenance duties

maintenance history of equipment and facility.

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 implementation and monitoring of maintenance plan

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant legislation in relation to the safe management of stable maintenance operations

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing work performance

portfolio of records and reports documenting development and review of maintenance plan and outcomes.

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

SISXRSK502A Manage organisational risk.
