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!

  2. The designated lighting and internal environment programs for the unit are implemented.
  3. Checks are made to ensure that effluent storage and disposal systems are operated according to the production program and manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Checks are made to ensure that all rubbish and used consumables are removed from production site according to the requirements of the production program.
  5. Herd/flock and shed conditions are regularly observed for signs of ill health, and changes recorded and reported.
  6. Checks are made to ensure that the OHS requirements are being observed and followed.
  7. Operational staff and any contractors are communicated with regularly to ensure smooth operation and progress.

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:
