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!

CPPWMT5057A - Develop landfill rehabilitation plans

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

Review and evaluate landfill rehabilitation strategies to determine possible options.

  1. Landfill rehabilitation strategies are reviewed to determine all site development options, including catchment devices, and drain and berm mechanisms to minimise erosion.
  2. Feasibility oflandfill rehabilitation strategies is assessed to ensure development of a realistic and achievable plan that complies with client requirements, occupational health and safety (OHS) standards and legislation and codes.
  3. Client is consulted in the development of landfill rehabilitation plan according to organisational requirements.

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 demonstration of the landfill rehabilitation plans developed.

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:

determine features required for a landfill rehabilitation plan, incorporating client requirements and OHS requirements

conduct life cycle assessment

apply landfill analytical methods, incorporating environmental regulations

present developed landfill rehabilitation plan.

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:

work plans and approved specifications

forms and procedures manuals.

Method of assessment

Landfill rehabilitation planning must comply with industry expectations in the particular client environment. If the environment is narrowly defined or is not representative of industry needs, it may be necessary to refer to portfolio case studies to assess competency in landfill rehabilitation planning.

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 of competency relevant to the job function, for example:

CPPCMN4002B Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices
