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:

demonstrates knowledge of the techniques which apply to the design and construction of a lure and selects appropriate equipment and materials

uses a range of common designs, construction methods, tools, equipment and materials to construct working lures

rigs, works and tests lure in specific fishing environments, and evaluates its effectiveness and identifies potential improvements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure construction and evaluation of a range of lures suitable to local conditions to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

an appropriate lure construction area for safe construction, review, testing and evaluation of lures

a fishing environment to work and trial lures

materials and equipment to construct and rig lures.

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 all practical tasks

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of lure construction to suit the targeted fish species

observation of working, testing and evaluating lures

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:

SISOFSH310A Tie simple fishing flies.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

problem-solving skills to:

respond appropriately to technology advancements

determine techniques and equipment to use when constructing fishing lures

trial and test lure in specific environments

literacy skills to read, interpret and implement lure construction information, instructions and material data sheets

planning and organising skills to:

source appropriate lure construction equipment and materials

ensure all gear and equipment is in good working order

select appropriate fishing environment to work lure

numeracy skills to calculate and estimate material quantities and weights

self management skills to review and reflect on own performance and set goals to improve techniques

first aid and emergency response skills appropriate to lure construction.

Required knowledge

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

minimal impact codes to ensure protection of the fishing environment

industry terminology related to lure construction to enable effective selection and use of materials and equipment

lure construction, design and evaluation techniques to ensure safe and accurate use

methods of working and trialling lures in different conditions to test effectiveness

range of freshwater and marine fish, habitats and food types

maintenance procedures for lures to enhance lifespan

equipment used to construct a lure, its characteristics and technology, and advantages and disadvantages of the range of equipment.
