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!

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 ability to:

interpret relevant rules, regulations and competition requirements to roster officials according to NSO requirements

address issues affecting rostering of officials

identify typical formats for rosters and key information to be included

prepare rosters that meet budgets and provide a level of staffing sufficient to ensure the delivery of sport competitions

prepare rosters for multiple periods to meet the staffing requirements of more than one sporting competition or event.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

demonstration of skills in a fully operational situation including a team of officials for whom rosters can be developed

use of industry-current rostering technology and systems.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

a sport-specific competition setting or environment

current NSO rules and regulations and best practice principles for the allocation of officials

project or work activities that allow the individual to prepare rosters for a sport competition or event and to evaluate their cost efficiency and operational effectiveness against nominated standards

project or work activities conducted over an operationally realistic period of time so that the planning, evaluation and monitoring aspects of rostering staff can be assessed.

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:

evaluation of the staffing costs and service levels in a sporting competition or at an event for which the individual has prepared rosters

case studies to develop rosters for typical official working periods and different operational situations

oral or written questions to assess knowledge of specific factors affecting the design of rosters

review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the individual.

Guidance information for assessment

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

sport-specific units of competency.

Required Skills and Knowledge
