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!

Evaluate environmental sustainability of current practice

  1. Assess source of materials used in current practice, taking account of their origin and abundance
  2. Investigate and evaluate resource use and sustainability issues in current practice
  3. Identify and evaluate relevant legislation, codes of practice, and national standards that impact on workplace sustainability to ensure compliance
  4. Analyse and address existing and potential environmental risks and hazards in the workplace

summarise ways to positively influence sustainability in the design and production of own work

outline tools, techniques and strategies used by practitioners to build sustainable practice

explain legislation, codes of practice and standards about sustainability in the relevant areas of practice.
