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
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
ability to complete a range of simple vision system tasks safely and in accordance with instructions
introductory knowledge of the major types of vision systems, including key features and safety issues.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills through the completion of a range of preparatory and set up tasks with industry-current vision systems equipment
project or work activities that allow knowledge to be applied to specific live production contexts and situations
completion of tasks within workplace-realistic time constraints.

Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
direct observation of the candidate working with equipment and completing tasks
inspection of equipment set up by the candidate
oral questioning/interviewing to assess knowledge of equipment and procedures
review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands 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
Assessment of this unit requires access to:
current and operational vision systems as specified in the Range Statement
