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!

CPCCSG3017 - Erect and install signs

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

Plan and prepare for installation processes.

  1. Job requirements are identified from work instructions and confirmed with relevant personnel.
  2. Characteristics and dimensions of sign are identified and weight of sign is calculated and applied to planning.
  3. Research is undertaken to determine the need for local authority permits to install sign, client is informed, and relevant permissions obtained or sighted before starting work.
  4. Detailed installation drawings are obtained and confirmed.
  5. Tools and equipment are selected to carry out tasks according to job requirements, checked for serviceability, and faults are rectified or reported before starting work.
  6. Health and safety requirements are identified and applied to planning.
  7. Sequence of tasks is determined and confirmed with relevant personnel.
Job requirements are identified from work instructions and confirmed with relevant personnel.
