Evidence Guide
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 This unit of competency could be assessed in the

workplace or a close simulation of the workplace
environment, provided that simulated or
project-based assessment techniques fully
replicate construction workplace conditions,
materials, activities, responsibilities and
procedures.

Critical aspects for assessment A person who demonstrates competency in this

and evidence required to unit must be able to provide evidence of the ability
demonstrate competency in this to:
unit  locate, interpret and apply relevant
information, standards and specifications
 comply with site safety plan and OHS
legislation, regulations and codes of practice
applicable to workplace operations
 comply with organisational policies and
procedures, including quality requirements
 safely and effectively use tools and equipment
 communicate and work effectively and safely
with others
 safely handle, sort and stack varying lengths of
timber, providing quick access and use
 safely move and stack a given quantity of
sheet material
 safely handle carpentry components for one
carpentry project.
Context of and specific resources This competency is to be assessed using standard
for assessment and authorised work practices, safety requirements
and environmental constraints.
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge
will usually be conducted in an off-site context.
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory
or Australian standards' requirements.
Resource implications for assessment include:
 an induction procedure and requirement
 realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the

EVIDENCE GUIDE
mandatory task requirements
 relevant specifications and work instructions
 tools and equipment appropriate to applying
safe work practices
 support materials appropriate to activity
 workplace instructions relating to safe work
practices and addressing hazards and
emergencies
 material safety data sheets
 research resources, including industry related
systems information.
Reasonable adjustments for people with
disabilities must be made to assessment processes
where required. This could include access to
modified equipment and other physical resources,
and the provision of appropriate assessment
support.

Method of assessment Assessment methods must:

 satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of
the Construction, Plumbing and Services
Training Package
 include direct observation of tasks in real or
simulated work conditions, with questioning to
confirm the ability to consistently identify and
correctly interpret the essential underpinning
knowledge required for practical application
 reinforce the integration of employability
skills with workplace tasks and job roles
 confirm that competency is verified and able
to be transferred to other circumstances and
environments.
Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires 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 on competency only taken at

EVIDENCE GUIDE
the point when the assessor has complete
confidence in the person's demonstrated ability
and applied knowledge
 all assessment that is part of a structured
learning experience must include a
combination of direct, indirect and
supplementary evidence.
Assessment processes and techniques should as
far as is practical take into account the language,
literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in
relation to the competency being assessed.
Supplementary evidence of competency may be
obtained from relevant authenticated
documentation from third parties, such as existing
supervisors, team leaders or specialist training
staff.
