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:

conduct post blast analysis

determine the cause of the incident

provide technical advice to authorities

maintain relevant records

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time in a variety of incidents or in simulated environments.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in an actual or simulated activity.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

explosive ordnance

blast sites

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

journals and workplace documentation

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

analyse and evaluate information

apply knowledge of explosive ordnance

apply safety procedures

apply security procedures

apply time management

apply operational safety

communicate orally and in writing

conduct appropriate tests

conduct liaison

interpret test methods/procedures

maintain security, integrity, traceability of samples, sub-samples, test data and results, and documentation

operate specialist explosive ordnance disposal vehicle

operate test equipment

read, access, interpret and apply technical instructions

Required Knowledge

analysis process

characteristics, technical capabilities, effects and limitations of explosive ordnance

chemical principles and concepts underpinning explosive ordnance

documentation requirements

initiation procedures

organisation and/or legal traceability requirements

relevant testing procedures

security procedures

theory of explosive ordnance design

use of instruments for qualitative and/or quantitative analysis
