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!

AHCLPW405A - Monitor biodiversity

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

Select monitoring techniques

  1. Monitoring operations are selected to obtain required data described in monitoring plan and enterprise requirements.
  2. Range of likely operating conditions, hazards and difficult/sensitive environments are assessed for impact on monitoring.
  3. Alternative land, sea and air operations are considered to collect data in line with enterprise procedures.
  4. Operations are trialled to test monitoring scheme for reliability, timeline and safety.

Review data

  1. Records of monitored data are examined for consistency and accuracy within requirements of the monitoring plan.
  2. Records are assessed to determine whether the observations and measurements are addressing factors and issues consistent with the monitoring plan.
  3. Monitoring techniques are adjusted to overcome any deficiency or reported to enterprise procedures for adjustment to monitoring plan.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

use monitoring techniques suitable for the environment and species

install and use monitoring equipment

develop systems to capture, maintain and analyse data

make observations and record data on species diversity and abundance

review data to ensure the monitoring process is correctly targeted and implemented.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

develop monitoring techniques

prepare and install equipment and resources

monitor biodiversity

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data

use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

ecosystems

plant and animal classification

monitoring systems for flora, fauna and microorganism populations

accepted scientific processes

parks/reserves, conservation, environmental protection and heritage and tenure systems

set up and use of monitoring equipment
