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. Identify pest status in the context of location, land use, legislative requirements, benefits and damage caused
  4. Assess target area terrain and hazards and environmental risks associated with implementing the plan, including the potential for the plan to clash with local land management practices

Implement the plan

  1. Use safeguards to ensure that the target pest is controlled and all other species remain unharmed
  2. Assess and control environmental impacts and use biosecurity and sustainability principles outlined in the plan
  3. Use appropriate application processes or techniques for long term outcomes
  4. Apply applicable Federal and State legislation relating to animal welfare, property, stock and duty of care
  5. Identify relevant monitoring techniques and adapt them to obtain the data necessary to assess the effectiveness of the plan
  6. Use follow-up techniques, where required, to minimise possibility of reinfestation
