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!

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

Plan road construction and maintenance

  1. Review forest management plan and requirements for roads.
  2. Obtain and assess logging and topography details while applying environmental management considerations.
  3. Review road location, design and construction requirements and analyse costs, benefits and impact on the forest.
  4. Review timeframe for use of the road and likely weather conditions.
  5. Calculate and document timber extraction methods and storage requirements for roads, tracks, equipment placement, falling and recovery rates, and delivery schedules.
  6. Consult with authorities and obtain approvals for road development.
  7. Prepare formal road construction/maintenance plan for approval in line with site procedures and environmental requirements.
