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!

Nil

Consistency in performance

Evidence should be gathered over time in a range of actual or simulated workplace environments.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Evidence should be gathered over time in a range of actual or simulated workplace environments.

Specific resources for assessment

There are no specific resource requirements for this unit.
