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!

FWPFGM4203 - Design plantations

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

Prepare for plantation design

  1. Assess site and identify site environmental protection measures.
  2. Review and analyse relevant plans to assess impacts on proposed plantation.
  3. Consult with stakeholders and obtain input into the design for the site.
  4. Review organisational maps, plans and strategies and how they relate to plantation requirements.
  5. Develop measurable performance indicators, specifications and targets for the plantation.
