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!

AHCWRK505A - Manage trial and/or research material

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

Identify scope and extent of work

  1. Trial/research hypothesis and parameters are identified according to researchers' requirements.
  2. Trial/research is planned to meet research objectives.
  3. Data relevant to managing trial/research materials is assessed according to research parameters.
  4. Data relevant to managing trial/research materials is assessed according to enterprise policy.
  5. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards associated with managing trial/research materials are identified, risks assessed, and controls developed according to enterprise guidelines, costed and documented in the survey design.
  6. Tools, equipment and machinery required for managing trial/research materials are identified, costed, and availability confirmed with suppliers, contractors and appropriate personnel.
  7. Research design is determined according to the trial/research plan.
Trial/research hypothesis and parameters are identified according to researchers' requirements.

Oversee management of trial/research materials

  1. Trial/research is prepared, maintained and monitored according to project parameters.
  2. Field work is conducted to verify and collect data according to the trial/research design and research parameters.
  3. Work activities are monitored for accuracy, validity and compliance to the parameters of the trial/research design.
  4. Staged data collection is undertaken according to trial/research design, scheduling and access requirements.
  5. Monitoring and data is recorded faithfully, promptly and accurately according to the specifications of the trial/research design.
Trial/research is prepared, maintained and monitored according to project parameters.

Instructions to Assessors

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:

define the purpose of the trial and the scope and extent of the work

oversee management of trial/research materials

collate data from trials or research

draw conclusions and apply findings of trials and/or research.

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

define the purpose of the trial

identify scope and extent of work

collate data

oversee management of trial/research materials

comply with legislative and enterprise requirements

use literacy skills to fulfil job roles as required by the organisation. The level of skill may range from reading and understanding documentation to completion of written reports

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record complex workplace measures

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

Required knowledge

scheduling and programming work within timelines
