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!

FWPFGM3201 - Manage seed collection

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

Plan seed collection

  1. Analyse seeding and/or planting program and identify seed characteristic requirements.
  2. Identify seed collection opportunities and determine a suitable area for seed collection.
  3. Select seed collection methods and determine the quantity, cost and impacts on provenances and species.
  4. Identify the required approvals and seek and obtain from relevant authorities.
  5. Determine measurable performance indicators, specifications and targets.
  6. Seed collection plan, costs and performance indicators are clearly documented and communicated to appropriate personnel.
