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!

DEFCA208B - Maintain radar systems at field operator level

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

Inspect radar systems and components

  1. Relevant maintenance documentation and modification status, including system defect reports, where relevant, are used to identify specific inspection requirements.
  2. Primary radar system components are visually or physically checked for external signs of defects in accordance with applicable maintenance manuals.
  3. Defects are identified and noted/reported in accordance with standard procedures.

Troubleshoot primary radar system faults

  1. Valid conclusions about the nature and cause of the fault are drawn from available evidence within an acceptable time and appropriate action is taken in accordance with standard procedures.
  2. Available information from maintenance documentation, inspection and test results is used, where necessary, to assist in fault determination.
  3. Maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides and logic processes are used to ensure efficient and accurate troubleshooting.
  4. Faults beyond authority to repair are identified and the problem is documented for higher level repair by an outside agency.
  5. Primary radar system faults are located and the causes of the faults are clearly identified and correctly recorded in maintenance documentation in accordance with standard procedures.
  6. Spare parts, consumables and other equipment are identified, selected and obtained in accordance with standard procedures.
  7. Fault is rectified in accordance with maintenance documentation.
  8. Documentation and records are completed in accordance with standard procedures.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to work autonomously and to refer problems on to appropriate outside agencies as necessary.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over a range of radar maintenance scenarios that could be expected in the workplace.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed on operations or in a simulated operational environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to a radar, ancillary equipment and maintenance documentation.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

apply analytical skills

perform radar drills and procedures
