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!

  1. Nature and scope of building application are reviewed and relevant legislation, codes and local planning policies are accessed.
  2. Specific building approval timelines and administrative requirements of the relevant local authority are identified and clarified.
  3. Proposed development site is inspected where necessary, to assist in understanding the nature of the development and potential impact on surrounding environment and structures.
  4. Need for advice from external consultants with specialist expertise is identified and relevant consultants are liaised with to provide advice throughout the building application process.
