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!

  3. Assess location, condition and suitability of field hygiene facilities in accordance with operational procedures
  4. Assess positioning, type and operation of field waste facilities in accordance with operational procedures
  5. Assess food/water storage and handling arrangements to ensure optimum food safety and water distribution
