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!

Conduct RF measurements

  1. Check that prescribed safety arrangements associated with RF radiation are in place; otherwise, take corrective action
  2. Monitor work activity to ensure it meets site specifications, and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards
  3. Configure test equipment according to manufacturer’s specifications
  4. Conduct measurements according to planned requirements
  5. Assess RF levels at occupational and non-occupational distances
  6. Record all measurements and test configurations
