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!

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 evidence of the following:

select tools and equipment for protecting trees prior to construction activities

install protective measures around trees to prevent them from damage

clean up materials and maintain worksite.

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

interpret site maps and tree protection plans

operate equipment such as digging equipment, traffic control devices

assemble or build protection devices

read and interpret site maps and protection plans including a range of graphic symbols

follow directions for the construction or assembly of protection devices

follow supervisors instructions

record or report workplace outcomes

measure materials used in construction and assembly

calculate quantities and area

measure and estimate height, depth and distance.

Required knowledge

potential damage to trees during construction work i.e. compaction, direct physical damage to trunk and crown, roots, soil contamination, changes in soil properties, environmental damage

AS1742 Pt 3 1985 - Australian Standard Code of Practice, Work Site Traffic Management (if involved in traffic control)

principles and techniques relating to the choice of tools and equipment for installing tree protection devices

techniques for assembling or constructing a range of tree protection devices

techniques and application of a range of tree protection devices suitable to the requirements of the species

care and maintenance of trees during protection operations.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Protection methods may include:

installation of fences, tree guards, tree plantings, barriers, retaining walls

soil coverings

erection of signs and bunting

traffic re-direction devices.
