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!

2.6

Vinyl sign elements are carefully removed using weeding tools and sign is checked to be free of defects.

2.7

Finished vinyl sign is cut, ensuring minimum waste and no damage to vinyl.

3

Apply vinyl sign to surface.

3.1

Surface is cleared of previously applied adhesives minimising risk of damage to surface, cleaned and dried ready for vinyl application.

3.2

Application tape is applied to vinyl sign, squeegeed evenly and firmly to sign, and excess tape is trimmed off.

3.3

Required heights and levels are identified from job requirements and applied to surface and vinyl sign using levelling tools.

3.4

Vinyl sign is positioned and applied to prepared surface using tools and techniques and according to job requirements.

3.5

Application tape is removed, sign is checked, and any defects in application are rectified.

4

Clean up.

4.1

Sign and surrounding surface area are cleaned and waste materials removed according to statutory and regulatory authority requirements.

4.2

Tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), are cleaned, maintained and stored according to workplace requirements.
