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!

DEFEXO124 - Perform exploive tests, measurements and analyses

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan tests or analyses

  1. Identify explosive sample and determine test or analysis requirements.
  2. Select appropriate methods and assemble, set up and calibrate the required testing apparatus.
  3. Perform routine standardisation procedures prior to the test or analysis and record results.

Record and validate results

  1. Record data using appropriate worksheets and/or information management systems.
  2. Analyse data for anomalies and ‘out of control’ conditions and accept or reject.
  3. Assess data for validity against quantity and compatibility information, known standards and reference materials.
  4. Modify test procedures, if necessary, under supervision.
