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!

AHCPMG404A - Coordinate the local pest management strategy

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine the time period and milestones for the implementation of the local pest management strategy

  1. Local stakeholders are consulted regarding time period and milestones.
  2. The time period complies with the objectives in the local management strategy.
  3. The time period is realistic to allow achievement of the objectives while taking account of target pest's life cycle and behaviour patterns, and local land management and production activity cycles.
  4. Milestones are aligned to critical control points in the target pest's life cycle and behaviour patterns, and the local and management and production activity cycles.
  5. Milestones identify a key, measurable point in the time period.
Local stakeholders are consulted regarding time period and milestones.

  1. Activities required to achieve objectives by proposed deadlines are listed in consultation with local land users.
  2. Activities are selected and scheduled to comply with the pest management strategy, in consideration of community attitudes and in accordance with relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.
  3. Monitoring and measurement activities are selected and scheduled to comply with the pest management strategy and in accordance with relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.

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:

prepare monitoring schedules and develop data recording documents for monitoring the pest strategy

develop milestones for the pest program based on pest lifecycles and local land management and production activity cycles

determine specific objectives for the pest management strategy

identify activities required to achieve specific objectives

estimate resources required to complete the required activities

develop an action plan to guide implementation of the strategy.

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

identify hazards and implement safe work practices

determine the time period and milestones for the implementation of the local pest management strategy

determine specific objectives for the local pest management strategy

identify activities required to achieve specific objectives

develop an action plan to guide implementation of the strategic plan
