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!

Participate in the validation of assessment tools

  1. Demonstrate active and appropriate participation in validation sessions and activities using agreed communication methods and modes
  2. Apply principles of assessment and rules of evidence during validation sessions and activities
  3. Check that context and conditions of assessment include clear instructions for assessor and candidate and relate directly to the assessment conditions of the relevant unit
  4. Check that tasks to be administered to the candidate include clear and concise instructions and an outline of evidence requirements
  5. Check that assessment decision-making rules and benchmarks, are clear and enable consistent outcomes
  6. Check that recording mechanisms are clear and allow for sufficient information to be recorded
  7. Review and use assessment maps to assist in determining validity of assessment instruments

The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit, including:

actively participating in a minimum of three validation sessions that address the critical aspects of validation

clearly identifying the purpose for each validation, and the legal and ethical responsibilities of assessors
