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!

AHCSHG402 - Conduct equipment experting for machine shearing

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

Trim and finish combs

  1. Identify signs of non-optimal equipment performance and remedy
  2. Identify potential and existing work health and safety hazards and implement control measures
  3. Confirm that the trim and finish meet the requirements of the current shearing task
  4. Maintain control of comb and tools throughout the experting process
  5. Adapt the comb in a form that meets individual shearing style
Identify signs of non-optimal equipment performance and remedy
