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!

Evidence of the ability to:

apply problem-solving skills to measurement and calculation requirements and information

measure quantities accurately using appropriate measuring equipment

record measurements and calculations using appropriate symbols for units of measurement

apply simple mathematical operations:

addition

subtraction

multiplication

division

complete basic calculations using ‘in the head’ method and pen and paper

use a calculator or digital tool to complete basic calculations.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

identify the correct measuring equipment related to a unit or quantity

read numbers, including fractions and decimals

explain the use of the decimal point

list metric units of measurement relevant to own work

recognise common mathematical symbols used in mathematical operations and related to units of measurement.
