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!

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:

identify fertiliser and soil ameliorant products using information about their characteristics

provide information to customers about fertiliser and soil ameliorant products

refer customers to other appropriate sources of information about products.

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

observing product characteristics

working safely with products

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, follow sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legible information collected and select and apply procedures for a range of tasks

use interpersonal skills to work with and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

characteristics and key label components (e.g. product analysis, impurities and warnings) of the range of fertiliser and soil ameliorants sold or handled in the workplace

key environmental, OHS and food safety risks associated with the use, spreading, storage, handling and transport of fertilisers and soil ameliorants.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Fertiliser and soil ameliorants may include:

chemical and organic fertilisers, composts, lime, gypsum and dolomite.
