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!

AHCIRG502 - Design irrigation system maintenance and monitoring programs

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

Design an irrigation system maintenance program

  1. Specify the resources needed to perform maintenance tasks
  2. Specify repairs, replacements and servicing requirements for all equipment and machinery
  3. Specify activities required to maintain the irrigation site, system hardware and water quality
  4. Analyse manufacturer's operating manuals and use as guidance to specify maintenance activities, schedule and skills required
  5. Take into account water supply authority constraints and requirements for water and maintenance when scheduling system maintenance program activities
  6. Determine labour and work health and safety requirements for each activity and record
  7. Ensure weed control, water storage and treatment maintenance form an integral part of the system maintenance program
  8. Specify strategies to ensure that negative impacts of irrigation, drainage and water treatment systems are minimised, and positive impacts are maximised
Specify the resources needed to perform maintenance tasks
