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: plans and delivers information, explanations and demonstrations for off-road cycling sessions to ensure activities are conducted safely according to participant's needs and characteristics observes and monitors the progress of participants and provides constructive feedback and intervention to improve off-road cycling performance evaluates and reflects on own instruction performance to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas that need improvement.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure instruction of off-road cycling activities that are appropriate to the needs and characteristics of a range of participants to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance. Assessment must also ensure access to: an off-road cycling location with suitable terrain for the conduct of instructional sessions participants to take part in off-road cycling sessions off-road cycling, navigation, tools, spare parts, safety and teaching equipment resources and information regarding participants and location to plan, instruct and document off-road cycling sessions for a variety of participants.
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 planning processes, such as consulting with participants to determine their needs and characteristics oral or written questioning to assess application of relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures to enable safe conduct of all off-road cycling activities observation of safe off-road cycling instruction, monitoring and adjustment according to participant's needs and characteristics portfolio of off-road cycling session plans third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
