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, the required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements, Performance Criteria, Required Skills, Required Knowledge and include:

initiating timely action in response to defects or damage

being aware of own ability and limits to rectify irregularities and faults

following all orders carefully and systematically

ensuring behaviour reflects relevant current legislative and regulatory requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

Resources for assessment include access to:

industry-approved marine operations site where communicating during shore-based mooring and untying operations can be conducted

tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on work activities

range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessments

appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace.

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Method of assessment

Practical assessment must occur in an:

appropriately simulated workplace environment and/or

appropriate range of situations in the workplace.

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate to this unit:

direct observation of the candidate communicating during shore-based mooring and untying operations

direct observation of the candidate applying relevant WHS/OHS requirements and work practices.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

In all cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess Required Knowledge.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language and literacy requirements of the work being performed and the capacity of the candidate.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required Skills:

Check functioning of radios and communication equipment

Communicate effectively with others when mooring and untying a vessel

Comply with relevant maritime regulations and IMO Conventions and Codes, including the relevant sections of Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Marine Orders as they apply to mooring and untying operations on ocean-going vessels

Follow work instructions

Identify and correctly use various types of radios and other relevant communication equipment

Implement port and vessel security procedures

Interpret and follow procedures for communicating with others during mooring operations

Recognise and adapt appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour, interactions and communication with others

Recognise problems that may occur when communicating with others during mooring and untying operations and take appropriate action to report and resolve them

Take proper care of radios and communication equipment
