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!

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.

carrying out contingency actions

recovering a vehicle

applying first aid

evacuating injured people

reading maps and use navigational aids

conducting route reconnaissance and task planning

driving a vehicle over difficult terrain including:

crossing a defile

crossing soft terrain

crossing a water obstacle

negotiating thick scrub

dealing with contingencies including:

engine stall on a steep grade

breakdown of a vehicle while crossing a water obstacle

recovery of a vehicle from an obstacle

recondition a vehicle after driving in difficult terrain

preparing and driving a vehicle over difficult terrain in a range of environments by day and night, and dealing with contingencies in hazardous situations

applying sound judgement, this must be displayed in the analysis of difficult terrain to determine whether it is trafficable, and if so, what are the implications for vehicle preparation, safety of passengers and load planning

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.
