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!

Operate radar

  1. Radar is operated in accordance with standard procedures to produce required data.
  2. Data produced by the radar is interpreted and used to assist command decisions, taking into account known limitations and errors associated with the equipment.
  3. Faults or difficulties within the operator’s ability to correct are corrected.
  4. Any faults or difficulties beyond the operator’s ability to correct are referred to supervisor and action is taken as directed.
  5. Data is provided to supervisor or user.
  6. Administration is completed in accordance with standard procedures.
  7. Operational maintenance is conducted as required.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to interpret directions from supervisors and to carry out each operator task.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated on deployment of equipment in a range of different environments.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in an operational or simulated operational environment. The simulation should replicate the live environment where stress and fatigue are key features.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to appropriate radar equipment and an appropriate field site or a high fidelity simulator.
