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!

DEFCA205B - Observe targets and direct single asset firepower on a single target

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

Occupy and prepare a location

  1. An appropriate vantage point is occupied and concealment is maintained throughout the operation.
  2. Occupied position is established.
  3. Reference points are established and information is documented.
  4. Possible threats are observed and monitored so an appropriate plan of action can be prepared by relevant authority.

Plan the engagement of firepower

  1. A target location is established via a grid reference.
  2. Altitude of the target is determined from the map.
  3. A direction from the observer to the target is determined by compass or laser.
  4. Target is described.
  5. Type and number of weapons is determined.
  6. Communications with stakeholders is maintained throughout the operation and personnel safety is monitored.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to maintain awareness of safety of friendly personnel at all times; to achieve the task using a number of simulations and at least two live fire missions using indirect firepower to destroy/neutralise the target; and to recognise but not exceed own level of authority.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and across a range of simulated or actual workplace situations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment. The individual must be assessed as part of a team.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to live fire areas, indirect fire support weapons, ammunition, and personnel to operate fire support weapons.
