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 clearly and promptly use and execute correct marshalling signals in a safe manner; to ensure the safety of ground personnel and aircrew; and to implement the correct procedures in the event of an aircraft emergency or accident.

Assessment must also confirm the ability to marshal aircraft by day and night.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time to allow the individual to be assessed in a number of realistic operational scenarios.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency must be assessed in the context of using live aircraft and should replicate an operational flight line environment.

The marshaller should be exposed to the extremes of the operational environment where a person is under the stress of marshalling a live aircraft while other aircraft are operating in close proximity.

Assessment must be conducted in an operational environment or simulated operational environment by day and night.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to aircraft with engines running and propellers/rotors engaged, tarmac, personal protective equipment, marshalling equipment, aircraft parking equipment and ancillary support equipment.
