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!

Grade cypress

  1. Visually stress grade cypress based on standards for the required structural grade.
  2. Diagnose and check characteristics with the greatest limiting effect on the grade.
  3. Assess the appearance, and mark, segregate and dispose of, in line with site procedures and environmental requirements
  4. Record and report results of grading in line with workplace procedures.
