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!

3.4 Report work outcomes and seek feedback on performance

The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

prepare to use watering equipment

deliver water to the mushroom crop at required rate and pressure

estimate flow rate of water by the range of watering equipment in use

measure correct doses of additives for water

record water use

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

principles and practices for watering mushroom crops

effect on mushrooms of under-watering, overwatering, insufficient evaporation, late watering and moisture imbalance

effects of water on casing structure, mycelium, yields and quality

factors affecting effective operation of watering tree or other equipment used

how panning occurs

'light', 'medium' and 'heavy' water and when each type is used

safe and effective use of fungicides and other water additives
