EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
Overview of assessment
This unit of competency could be assessed through practical demonstration of coordinating the construction or renovation of facilities. Targeted written (including alternative formats where necessary) or verbal questioning to assess the candidate's underpinning knowledge would provide additional supporting evidence of competence. The demonstration and questioning would include collecting evidence of the candidate's knowledge and application of ethical standards and relevant federal, and state or territory legislation and regulations. This assessment may be carried out in a simulated or workplace environment.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:
arranging inspections and preparing and collating documentation relating to finalisation of contract requirements using business technology
determining construction requirements and developing a construction plan through research and consultation
knowledge of organisation's practices, ethical standards and legislative requirements associated with coordinating the construction or renovation of facilities
making available appropriate resources to support the construction process
monitoring construction processes using project management methodologies and developing and communicating appropriate contingency plans
negotiating variations and adjustments to work schedules
preparing selection schedule and criteria for contractors and arranging people to be involved in the contract process by following organisational procurement procedures.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Resource implications for assessment include:
a registered provider of assessment services
assessment materials and tools
candidate special requirements
competency standards
cost and time considerations
suitable assessment venue and equipment
workplace documentation.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Validity and sufficiency of evidence require that:
competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role and the practical requirements of the workplace
where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's competence
all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence
where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (RCC/RPL), the evidence provided will need to be current and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time
assessment can be through simulated project-based elements in this unit.
In all cases activity and must include evidence relating to each of the where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge. Questioning will be undertaken in such a manner as is appropriate to the language and literacy levels of the candidate and any cultural issues that may affect responses to the questions, and will reflect the requirements of the competency and the work being performed.
