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!

In order to confer competency, evidence must prove that the candidate is able to:

conduct pre and post operational checks;

operate side by side utility vehicles in a safe, efficient and controlled manner;

perform minor maintenance and fault finding; and

give due respect to:

performance criteria;

application of knowledge and skills;

human exposure to health and safety hazards;

environmental impacts; and

animal welfare.

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
