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?

Prepare and set up for cable test

  1. Obtain relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards
  2. Scope work by obtaining project plan from appropriate personnel and arrange for site access to comply with security arrangements
  3. Notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards at worksite
  4. Determine type of cable bearer and cable route from project plan and identify test requirements using work instructions
  5. Obtain tools and safety equipment and material to perform tasks safely and efficiently
  6. Select and use required protective equipment and make site safe and secure for testing work
  7. Determine need for outage, extent, location and timing, if required, and negotiate with appropriate personnel
  8. Select and set up suitable test equipment according to manufacturer’s specifications for cable tests to be performed to ensure relevance of test data
  9. Ensure equipment calibration certification is current to reduce possibility of unreliable test data and ensure traceability
