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 implement two landfill rehabilitation plans.

For each plan, the person must:

identify rehabilitation work requirements, including:

commence, monitor and direct the landfill rehabilitation work to comply with rehabilitation plan, organisational and legal and regulatory requirements

recontour the rehabilitation area so that it blends into the surrounding environment and dust is minimised and the catchment construction is appropriate for the site

profile soil to stabilise contamination and ensure it follows contours which reduce water flow down the slope and increase water storage capabilities

construct drains and berms which control and reduce erosion

plant flora using gardening methods in an arrangement that conforms to the contour of the site and pattern specifications as detailed in the rehabilitation plan.

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