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!

Develop the strategy to utilise restoration works

  1. Property ownership and boundaries are confirmed by checking maps and titles.
  2. Profiles of river sections are determined from survey and aerial photographs.
  3. Erosion control measures are developed and are consistent with industry principles and selection criteria.
  4. Sediment control measures are developed consistent with industry principles and selection criteria.
  5. Fauna habitats are developed following industry recommendations.
  6. Vegetation species utilised within restoration project comply with industry guidelines.
  7. River restoration strategies are established and documented in co-operation with the client and relevant consent authority.

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:

restoration strategies are checked for compliance and discussed with client

develop erosion and sediment control measures

follow industry guidelines to establish fauna habitat and vegetation species

document the strategy and submit to the relevant consent authority

prepare a detailed works plan.

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

establish requirements of the project

establish the suitability of a project proposal

design structural works, and prepare a river restoration plan

prepare a detailed works plan

use literacy skills to fulfil job roles as required by the organisation. The level of skill may range from reading and understanding documentation to completion of written reports

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 complex workplace measures
