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!

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

Prepare to transport special effects items

  1. Confirm facilities available at production locations in consultation with relevant personnel and with reference to production documentation
  2. Inspect locations as required to identify most appropriate delivery, storage and assembly arrangements
  3. Ensure power supply and facilities at locations are adequate to meet production requirements
  4. Conduct pre-departure checks on all equipment to be used at locations
  5. Complete stock orders in line with budgets, checking availability in time for the assembly and execution of special effects
  6. Determine whether transport and assembly methods require licensed personnel to operate equipment, and confirm their availability if required
  7. Develop an operational plan to transport, assemble and disassemble special effects items to meet production requirements and timelines
  8. Identify problems that might occur with the transportation and assembly of special effects items and make contingency plans
