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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to lead a team to construct, maintain and dismantle a multi span bridging of not less than 30 metres made from modularised or improvised means.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and across a range of simulated or actual workplace situations that allows for the construction of multi-span bridging under a range of field conditions.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated work environment. Assessment need only be completed once due to the high cost and complex nature of the task.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to construction equipment and materials; communications equipment; a suitable site; and a construction team.
