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

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to comply with organisational safety requirements, and appropriate legislative and regulatory requirements.

Assessment must also confirm the ability to work safely within an explosive ordnance environment and to:

identify, select and use personal protective measures

apply safe manual handling practices

apply net explosive quantity

apply compatibility

identify and report hazards and incidents

participate in incident investigations

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time and observed in a range of actual or simulated explosive ordnance contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated work environment and in accordance with all relevant legislation and organisational requirements.

Evidence should be gathered through observation of the practical component and targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

facilities and resources used in the storage, distribution or maintenance of explosive ordnance.

Method of assessment

In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment. Forms of assessment that are typically used include:

direct observation

interviewing the candidate
