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 comply with organisation safety requirements and appropriate legislative and regulatory requirements while maintaining small arms ammunition.

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

calculate and apply net explosive quantity

assess and apply compatibility

conduct relevant tests

maintain documentation

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated in a range of actual or simulated small arms ammunition maintenance contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

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

Specific resources for assessment
