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:
understanding of the properties, applications and durability of different types of materials that can be used to make soft scenery
correct and safe use of techniques to construct soft scenery elements.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills through construction of soft scenery on more than one occasion
completion of soft scenery construction tasks within realistic workplace timeframes.
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 using techniques to construct soft scenery
evaluation of soft scenery items constructed by the candidate in terms of quality finishing and appropriate structural soundness
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of soft scenery construction techniques and stage geography terminology
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
