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!

Maintain shearing output

  1. Shearing output and quality are maintained to meet expectation of the grower, contractor and self in terms of shearing conditions.
  2. Shearing output and quality are maintained in terms of minimum industry output requirements and minimum industry quality requirements.
  3. Evaluate current stamina/fitness program, including eating, exercise, back care, fluid intake and rest periods, for means of improvement maintaining shearing performance.
