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 relevant process to plan equipment and supply requirements appropriate to the advanced terrain and duration of the freestyle snowboarding activity

demonstrate freestyle snowboarding techniques, such as airs and fakie turns and a range of safe freestyle snowboarding manoeuvres on manmade terrain features such as half pipe riding and air turns

evaluates and reflects on own freestyle snowboarding performance to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas that need improvement.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure participation in multiple freestyle snowboarding activities on advanced terrain to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

a suitable snowsport location with advanced terrain for freestyle snowboarding skills to be demonstrated

equipment such as freestyle snowboards, bindings, boots, suitable clothing, goggles, helmet, manmade terrain features, lift pass, backpack or bumbag, and food and water.

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:

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of freestyle snowboarding strategies and techniques
