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!

AHCILM402 - Report on place of potential cultural significance

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

Investigate evidence of past activities

  1. Manage movement through park or reserve to minimise disturbance and degradation to the park or reserve and surrounding environments, especially in relation to known and potential places of significance, and to comply with Community protocols, legislative requirements, Codes of Practice and the park or reserve management strategy and plan
  2. Survey an area for land forms including caves and potential sites for rock art, flora, fauna and settings to identify potential places of previous human activity which could have cultural or natural significance
  3. Assess and document signs of previous human activity
  4. Review park or reserve activities in light of potential significance and maintain, modify or halt activities to maintain significance
  5. Where activities have affected or may affect the potential significance, record the original state of the non-Indigenous activities at the place, or for Indigenous activities, seek directions from Indigenous stakeholders or cultural reference group
  6. Where potential places of significance are identified, take field notes of location in terms of other park or reserve features, survey markers or global positioning
  7. Record reasons for identifying potential significance
  8. Refer location to Indigenous stakeholders or cultural reference group for further directions
  9. Follow work health and safety policies and procedures when working on site
