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!

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:

produce a design for erosion and sediment control measures and structures

identify measures to be designed

apply design procedures

prepare specification schedule

cost the project and provide recommendations in line with budget constraints

use computer design programs

determine design specifications using methods that meet industry standards

develop design plan to meet client, organisational and regulatory requirements

consult with management or client to confirm design meets requirements

identify how the design applies sustainability principles

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

erosion control and design principles:

soils and soil formation

levels and levelling

earthmoving principles

total catchment issues

managing peak water flows

subsurface and surface drainage principles and systems

environmental issues related to the design

the limitations of design aids provided for industry
