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!

MARF005 - Survive at sea using survival craft

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare to abandon vessel

  1. Nature of emergency is determined to minimise potential dangers and threats
  2. Muster and abandon vessel signals are responded to according to vessel safety procedures
  3. Survival equipment is organised to maximise chances of survival
  4. Emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) is operated to transmit distress signal
  5. Distress calls are made using radio equipment
  6. Others are assisted to maximise their chances of survival
  7. Prevailing circumstances and emergency conditions are used as the basis for timing and sequencing individual survival actions, and potential dangers and threats to other survivors are minimised
