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!

FNSILA505A - Provide ancillary services

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

Provide guidance on prevention of future losses

  1. Opportunities to provide guidance on loss prevention are identified while current loss situations are being assessed
  2. Clients and relevant third parties are interviewed to identify potential risk and hazard indicators
  3. All relevant risk information is identified and assessed to determine the integrity of its source, and whether it is comprehensive, valid, reliable and pertinent to the nature of the risk and meets client needs
  4. Risk types are assessed against known exposure factors and for compliance with relevant legislation and client or organisation policy guidelines
