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!

CPPBDN8007 - Manage the design of Type A constructions

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

Analyse the requirements for Type A constructions.

  1. BCA requirements for Type A constructions are identified and evaluated.
  2. Scope and nature of the proposed construction are analysed to identify impact on the BCA’s performance requirements for proposed Type A design solution.
  3. Analysis is undertaken to determine whether the construction will be designed to meet performance requirements of the BCA by the use of an alternative solution, a deemed-to-satisfy (DTS) solution, or a blend of solutions.
  4. Performance characteristics of construction materials and methods are reviewed to ensure they conform to Type A constructions.
