Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ACMCAS404 - Development enrichment strategies for companion animals

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Develop enrichment strategies

  1. Conduct research and consultation to determine appropriate strategies for particular animals and breeds
  2. Develop enrichment strategies against known animal behaviour and traits
  3. Incorporate animal welfare and WHS requirements into strategies as appropriate
  4. Develop organisational procedures for enrichment according to the profile of animals
  5. Align behavioural management budget allocation to short-term and longer-term strategies
