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!

Carry out preliminary planning activities

  1. Identify and evaluate trends and issues affecting the Australian viticulture industry for their impact on planning decisions
  2. Determine client preferences and requirements for the production of grapes
  3. Assess the vineyard site for growing environment factors, services and site modifications
  4. Conduct research into the characteristics and growing requirements of grape varieties and cultivars, legal attributes of the site, and local by-laws and restrictions that may affect the production plan
  5. Identify sustainable land use issues that may affect planned production
  6. Set production targets that are consistent with the marketing strategy and business plan
  7. Determine production requirements in terms of quantity and quality of grapes
  8. Develop a draft plan that reflects client preferences and requirements and takes into account site factors and any identified sustainable land use requirements
