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 planning processes for off-highway motorcycling activities and conducts accurate routine checks and maintenance of motorcycle and equipment

takes measures to guard personal and group safety by identifying and negotiating obstacles, hazards and risks, and selecting apparel that is suitable to all possible weather conditions

evaluates and reflects on own off-highway motorcycling performance to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas that need improvement.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure participation in multiple off-highway motorcycling activities on moderate to difficult terrain to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also include access to:

an off-highway location with a variety of moderate to difficult terrain
