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!

The candidate must demonstrate an in depth technical and theoretical knowledge of:

enterprise operational scope

enterprise budget planning and management processes and cycles

regulatory requirements affecting enterprise operations

impact of operational changes on personnel and need to develop strategies minimising negative effects on individual, team and enterprise operations
