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	Plan and manage safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment. Plan and manage environmental protection procedures in the business. Identify materials used in process in the business, and assess and manage their environmental impact. Ensure effective recycling processes are in place. Plan and manage work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to: minimise the risk of injury to self and others, maintain a clean workplace, prevent wastage and damage to goods, equipment and products, dispose of waste in accordance with legislative requirements and best practice, maintain required production output and product quality. Report significant environmental damage or spills. Plan and manage operator maintenance on equipment to ensure environmental efficiency. Manage effective planning and team work related to environmental best practice. Develop/implement or audit an existing business environmental policy covering, at a minimum: waste, recycling, hazards to stormwater, air quality, noise, energy minimisation and costs. Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment	Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. Access to an automotive mechanical workplace or business with a range of vehicles or mechanical components, waste materials of various types, recycling bins, spill kits, quick break degreasing agents, oil/water separator for liquids, sludge, solids and other waste.
Method of assessment	Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts. Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge. Assessment should be conducted over time and should be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competence. Assessment of this unit of competence is most likely to be project related under real or simulated conditions and require portfolios or other forms of indirect evidence of process. Direct evidence may include certification of compliance of the final outcome/product or authorisation for use by a component authority. Assessment must confirm the inference that competence is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstances, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances. Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role

Tooling and equipment	Tooling and equipment are to include spill kits, recycling bins and drums, bunded or drained wash bays and preparation areas, parts washers, quick break degreasing compounds, waste water management system. Tooling and equipment may include containment facilities for hazardous substances and staff environmental induction materials.
Materials	Materials may include: material safety data sheets, manufacturer/ component supplier specifications, environmental records, costing of equipment and waste removal containment facilities for hazardous substances
Personal protective equipment	Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices.
