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!

DEFSUR009 - Trap and kill animals in a survival situation

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

Trap animals

  1. Develop a capture plan including trap height, location and type, as well as means of attraction, by identifying animal signs and by interpreting drinking, eating, foraging, mating, and sleeping habits.
  2. Acquire bait attractive to the targeted animal.
  3. Create traps from natural resources.
  4. Deploy and camouflage traps on likely animal travel routes.
  5. Check traps regularly for captured animals.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

demonstrating safe knife-handling

constructing, siting, setting and camouflaging the following traps:

simple snare – focusing on the functionality of the snare and the fixing of the aperture

Fig 4 – focusing on the functionality of the mechanism

a frame – focusing on the functionality of the mechanism

ensuring own safety

efficiently despatching the slaughter

removing offal and cuts of meat without rupturing the animal’s internal organs, thereby spoiling the meat

examining carcasses for disease and parasites

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.
