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!

DEFMIL087 - Supervise the construction of short term roads or tracks

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

Plan road or track construction

  1. Interpret road requirements and restrictions from instructions, expected time frame for usage and likely weather conditions.
  2. Seek assistance to survey road location.
  3. Survey water courses and other ground obstacles and note their impact on road design.
  4. Plan crossing or entry points for other roads and tracks.
  5. Investigate soil conditions to establish profile to sub-base level.
  6. Plan extent and depth of clearing and cutting.
  7. Plan soil dumping or storage areas to accommodate volume of soil to be removed, access and restoration.
  8. Develop construction plan in accordance with design, resources, risks and environmental considerations.
  9. Confirm availability of required road base and additional material.
  10. Confirm and monitor competence of team members.
  11. Brief construction team.
  12. Liaise with outside agencies.
