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 assist in the construction of at least two dry gap crossings using two types of dry gap crossing bridging equipment listed in the Range Statement. Individuals should be assessed participating in the construction of:

at least one bridge of not less than 15 metres span

at least one bridge constructed at night

Assessment must also confirm the ability to:

prepare the work site

check components, tools and equipment

participate in the assembly, construction and recovery of the crossing systems

identify faults/problems and take action to rectify them

work as part of a team and interactively communicate with others

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated under field conditions over a time frame that allows for individuals to be assessed in the various tasks related to the construction of at least two dry gap crossings using two types of equipment listed in the Range Statement.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to:

selected dry gap crossing equipment and components (multiple or single span gap crossing equipment, fixed clearspan equipment, nonequipment bridging, improvised and/or expedient materials, suspended cable equipment, aerial ropeways)
