Overview of assessment 

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit 

Evidence of the ability to:

  • research industry-standard presentation methodologies
  • design and realise presentation concepts
  • present creative products in a manner suited to the intended audience and purpose.

Context of and specific resources for assessment 

Assessment must ensure access to:

  • appropriate technology and sources of information to research industry-standard presentation methodologies
  • industry-standard presentation packages and technology.

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 a presentation or portfolio created by the candidate
  • direct observation of candidate presenting creative products
  • evaluation of problem-solving activities to assess candidate's critical thinking skills
  • 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.
