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!

Evidence of the ability to:

plan and integrate sustainability into information and communications technology (ICT) projects by devising strategies to conserve resources

analyse energy audit data on enterprise resource consumption

develop and monitor policies for review and improvements, benchmarking against industry best practice and attempting new approaches continuously over time.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
