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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

apply operational and safety procedures for the safe and efficient operation of continuous batch washing equipment

interpret production schedules and work load priorities

select washing conditions

prepare chemicals (where automatic systems are not in place)

control and monitor process operation

interpret faults and address common operational problems

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
