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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed by observing practical demonstration in the field and by reviewing the outcome of at least two complete termite barrier installations under normal industry operating conditions, or if this is not practicable, in a simulated work environment.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of the required skills and knowledge specified in this unit.

In particular the person should demonstrate the ability to:

carry out correct procedures prior to and during installation of physical termite barrier

communicate to support team and ensure safe and effective workplace operations

comply with:

company policies and procedures, including quality assurance

legislative and regulatory requirements

product installation specifications

identify hazards and risks associated with the installation

safely and effectively use hand and power tools, plant and equipment

achieve outcomes in relation to work order.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge may be conducted in an off-site context. It is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards’ requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include access to:

suitable work site or venue

suitable equipment and materials

PPE

equipment operating manuals and MSDS

company procedures and manufacturer specifications and MSDS

plain English version of relevant statutes and procedures

relevant databases and information

assessment instruments, including personal planner and assessment record book.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must:

satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the Property Services Training Package

include direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions, with questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

reinforce the integration of employability skills with workplace tasks and job roles

confirm that competency is verified and able to be transferred to other circumstances and environments.

Guidance information for assessment

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should as far as is practical take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function, for example:

CPPPMT3002A Assess pest management options

CPPPMT3005A Modify environment to manage pests

CPPPMT3007A Implement pest management plans

CPPPMT3043A Prepare and present pest management proposals.
