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!

  2. Monitor systems throughout the process.
  3. Identify risks and apply the risk management process.
  4. Apply management tools throughout the process to achieve outcomes.
  5. Compare data with standards, charts and tables in order to meet compliance with required specification or test specific requirements.
  6. Check initial analyses against test plan procedures when non-standard results are obtained.
  7. Recognise and manage contingencies.
