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:

  • develop and refine ideas through review and exploration
  • identify, select, assess and use resources, such as techniques, tools, equipment and materials for creative work
  • safely use and adapt techniques to realise ideas in creative work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment 

Assessment must ensure access to:

  • appropriate resources to apply techniques for creative work, such as:
  • tools, equipment and materials
  • studio and/or workshop facilities.

Method of assessment 

A range of assessment methods may be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

  • evaluation of a presentation by the candidate
  • evaluation of visual presentations, including diagrams, charts, slides and digital images
  • questioning and discussion about the candidate’s intention and work outcome
  • review of portfolios of evidence
  • review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment 

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

  • specialisation units for any creative form.
