Providing evidence

Collecting evidence

There is no one-way to approach the gathering of evidence. To be deemed competent in a unit of competency you must satisfy the requirement for each criteria within the unit of competency. Evidence of competence must be provided in a manner that enables an assessor to readily ascertain whether the required competencies have been demonstrated.

Direct evidence

This reflects your own work and could include:

In other words direct evidence is anything that you have either produced yourself or for which you have been primarily responsible.

Indirect evidence

This is information gathered from others about you, and could include:

Direct evidence is usually more valid, but assessors will expect to see both types, for example, a photograph of your work plus witness testimony to authenticate this. Currency of Competency will be determined by the Institute's content specialist/assessor, based on his/her knowledge of current industry practices.
