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:

maintain effective communication by using clear and concise procedures

complete a minimum of eight real/simulated torpedo firings

work within one's delegated authority.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time that is sufficient to include dealings with a range and variety of situations.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in an actual workplace or simulated workplace environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access is required to:

appropriate documentation and resources normally used in the workplace.

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

apply organisational doctrine

correctly input pre firing data into torpedo fire control system

demonstrate correct voice procedure

optimise sonar control room equipment

use sonar/torpedo fire control system equipment
