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!

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

Assess potential for use of low and zero carbon technologies.

  1. Needs, circumstances and motivations of client regarding the use of low and zero carbon energy technologies are identified.
  2. Site inspection is planned to determine viability of using low and zero carbon energy technologies.
  3. Potential hazards associated with conducting a site inspection are identified to ensure risks are suitably managed.
  4. Tools, equipment and other requirements for site inspection are identified and arrangements are made to ensure their availability on day of inspection.
  5. Information required is obtained from client before conducting site inspection.
  6. Details of site inspection are agreed with client before conducting inspection.
