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!

AMPQUA411 - Calculate carcase yield in a boning room

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

Calculate yield of a single carcase

  1. Establish the carcase weight to be used for calculation according to workplace specifications
  2. Confirm class of animal to be assessed according to workplace requirements
  3. Identify and weigh cuts that constitute a full set
  4. Identify and weigh other meat products recovered, including trim and other meat recovered
  5. Identify and weigh fat and bones, including rib frames and H bone waste
  6. Calculate percentage yield of the full set, total meat, fat and bone
  7. Perform tasks according to health and safety, hygiene and workplace requirements
