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!

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit. The person must also collect basic spatial data for two field projects according to organisational procedures and instructions, and using surveying methods. For each project, the person must use safety equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE), and a communication device.

During the above projects, the person must collect the basic spatial data using four of the following tools and equipment:

clinometer or device to measure vertical angles

compass

data recording equipment

digital or hard copy map

distance measuring tape

distance measuring wheel

level

scientific calculator

simple global positioning system (GPS) device to determine position

simple laser measuring device.

While assisting in collecting the above basic spatial data, the person must:

communicate clearly with others to clarify work tasks and equipment use

comply with organisational requirements and manufacturer specifications

report problems and seek assistance with work tasks

use organisational proformas to record accurate measurements and data.

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

industry-accepted standards for recording surveying measurements and data

organisational policies and procedures relating to:

accessing manufacturer specifications

collecting spatial data

formats for records and documentation

reporting problems

selecting and using the tools and equipment specified in the performance evidence

using communications equipment

working safely when using surveying equipment and working in the field.

Range Statement

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance.
