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:

utilises knowledge of energy systems and muscle groups to interpret how different conditioning applies to individual football positions

participates in conditioning sessions to improve speed, agility, endurance, strength, power and flexibility and identifies over-training symptoms

communicates appropriately with coaches and specialists to respond to feedback and seek advice from specialist or specialists to plan and implement a recovery plan

evaluates conditioning sessions and reviews own performance to identify strengths and areas requiring improvement and or modifications.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure participation in conditioning activities that result in improvement in physical conditioning required for Australian Football.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

suitable facilities, such as gyms and training fields

up-to-date testing equipment and facilities

a coach to give instructions and feedback

support staff required to support conditioning outcomes

conditioning equipment, such as cardiovascular, free weight, hydraulic and resistance

resources and information on the energy systems and muscle groups associated with intermediate Australian football

current relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures that impact on the conduct of conditioning sessions.

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 performance and improvement of fitness components, such as speed, agility, endurance, strength, power and flexibility during conditioning sessions and Australian football games

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of physiological elements of Australian football, such as energy systems and muscle groups

accurate discussions with specialists on topics such as over training symptoms and conditioning techniques for the improvement of fitness components

third-party reports from coaches or specialists detailing conditioning performance.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

SISSAFL201A Perform the intermediate skills of Australian Football

SISSAFL202A Perform the intermediate tactics of Australian Football.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to:

discuss and determine fitness components requiring improvement with coaches and other specialists

seek and follow advice from specialists in developing recovery plans for over training

communicate and update progress during conditioning

language and literacy skills to access, interpret and apply information about the basic energy systems and muscle groups to help prevent injury

self-management skills to:

review and reflect on own conditioning and fitness performance

organise time and priorities effectively

set short, medium and long term goals.

Required knowledge

legislation and organisational policies and procedures to ensure safe participation during conditioning

self reflection principles to enable effective self evaluation for future improvement

positions and players of Australian football and their roles and responsibilities on the field and appropriate conditioning techniques for different position requirements
