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!

identify and record instances of non-conformity with Australian Standards, OHS guidelines and manufacturers standards

conduct inspection of structures for soundness and record checklists and recommendations

assess playground equipment and make recommendations on its lifespan based on advice and specifications from the manufacturer

estimate costs of repair or replacement

communicated directly any issues requiring urgent action or closure of facilities.

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.
