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!

AHCWOL402 - Use individual fleece measurements to prepare wool for sale

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

Gather objectively measured data.

  1. Arrange shed or wool room layout for efficient sampling operation where required
  2. Identify potential and existing work health and safety hazards, assess risks and implement control measures
  3. Collate available information
  4. Assess tested sample to determine its appropriateness as a representative sample
  5. Determine the requirements for additional information needed to validate measurements
