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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Competency is to be demonstrated by carrying out the effective application of the different types of levelling devices listed within the range statement relative to the work orientation.

(1) Critical Aspects of Evidence

It is essential that competence is observed in the following aspects:

demonstrate compliance with Occupational Health and Safety regulations applicable to workplace operations

indicate compliance with organisational policies and procedures including Quality Assurance requirements

carry out correct procedures prior to and during application of levelling and boning processes

demonstrate safe and effective handling and operational use of levelling device

indicate care in accurately transferring levels to other locations

interactive communication with others to ensure safe and effective levelling operations.

(2) Pre-requisite Relationship of Units

Nil

(3) Underpinning Knowledge and Skills

Knowledge

A knowledge of:

workplace and equipment safety requirements

hand tools

measurement and calculation

Quality Assurance

range of levelling devices

horizontal/vertical concepts

Skills

The ability to:

work safely to instructions

measure

use hand tools

communicate effectively

(4) Resource Implications

The following resources should be made available:

general construction materials appropriate to levelling

hand tools appropriate to levelling and lining

equipment appropriate to the activity processes

suitable work area appropriate to the activities

suitable plans/drawings and specification

(5) Method of Assessment

Competency shall be assessed while work is undertaken under direct supervision with regular checks, but may include some autonomy when working as part of a team.

Competency in this unit should be determined concurrently, based on integrated project work.

Assessment may be by intermittent checking at the various stages of the job application in accordance with the performance criteria, or may be at the completion of each process.

(6) Context of Assessment

Competency shall be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace environment in accordance with work practices and safety procedures.
