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:

applies knowledge of different types of terminal tackle to select the most appropriate for particular species of fish, locations or conditions

selects and uses appropriate terminal tackle as part of a rig within a particular form of fishing.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure selection and use of a range of terminal tackle that reflects local conditions to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

suitable locations to rig and use terminal tackle

a selection of terminal tackle appropriate to local conditions.

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 safe participation and demonstration of selecting, rigging and using terminal tackle suitable to a particular species of fish and location

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant legislation, organisational policies and procedures, different types of terminal tackle, and factors affecting tackle selection

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:

SISOFSH204A Select, use and maintain fishing tackle outfits.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

problem-solving skills to differentiate between types of terminal tackle used for different species of fish and situations

planning and organising skills to:

source and access relevant terminal tackle and accessories

construct terminal rigs for different situations

Required knowledge

legislation and organisational policies and procedures to enable safe and legal conduct

minimal impact codes to ensure protection of the fishing environment

species of fish, locations, conditions and feeding habits to select appropriate terminal tackle

types of terminal tackle and situations in which each type should be used

factors affecting quality of terminal tackle and quality of trace

variety of hooks and situations for selecting barbless and sharp hooks

methods of rigging and knot tying according to different situations and terminal tackle.
