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!

DEFSUR010 - Locate, treat and manage water in a survival situation

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

Locate and extract water

  1. Discover water by recognising and investigating the likely locations and the indicators of water.
  2. Collect water during periods of rain and high atmospheric moisture content.
  3. Extract water from the ground through evaporation.
  4. Extract water from vegetation using transpiration.
