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!

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

Plan passage

  1. Appropriate charts and publications are accessed and checked for currency
  2. Destination is identified, and course and waypoints are plotted
  3. Estimated time of arrival (ETA) at waypoints and final destination are calculated
  4. Safe passage is plotted to comply with all navigational buoys, marks and beacons
  5. Navigational hazards are identified to avoid dangers to vessel
  6. Weather information is accessed to determine expected weather pattern for intended passage
  7. Proposed course is modified as necessary, to meet expected weather conditions
  8. Fuel consumption for passage, including a reserve, is calculated
