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 accurately record basic surveying data for two field projects, including data relating to the position of geographic features and their attributes, including angles, distances and height.

During the above projects, the person must collect the basic surveying data using two of the following pieces of equipment:

automatic, digital or laser level

electromagnetic recording equipment

global positioning system (GPS) for:

determining point position

navigating and recording a traverse

collecting designated attributes for designated features

ground penetrating radar

total station.

In addition, while collecting basic surveying data, the person must use two of the following:

digital or hard copy maps and images

distance measuring

measuring bearings or angles

measuring vertical angles or slopes.

During the above projects, the person must also:

communicate clearly with others to clarify work tasks and equipment selection

comply with organisational, legislative and manufacturer requirements to work safely and use personal protective equipment (PPE)

comply with relevant safe work method statements (SWMS)

follow manufacturer specifications and standard operating procedures to correctly set up, operate, pack up, and store tools and equipment
