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 coordinate the total production process relevant to the particular area of expertise
effective work planning and monitoring
effective problem solving for the realisation of live productions
detailed knowledge of production processes.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
collection of evidence which shows that skills have been demonstrated over a period of time through the realisation of at least 5 different productions to ensure integration of skills and consistency of performance in different circumstances
involvement of and interaction with a production team to reflect the collaborative nature of the production process
demonstration of skills in a coordinating role.

Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
review of a diary or log, showing details of productions on which the candidate has worked
evaluation of productions/performances on which the candidate has worked
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 (eg 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:
a production venue (preferably more than one production space)
the full range of equipment, tools and other resources required to stage a production.
