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!

Check condition of vessel in normal and emergency situations

  1. Organisational procedures for coverage and frequency of tests and inspections on the vessel are complied with
  2. Watertight integrity is checked and appropriate action is taken to prepare for prevailing and forecast weather and sea conditions
  3. Degree to which vessel is secured is appropriate to prevailing and forecast conditions
  4. Defects and damage are reliably detected and appropriate action is taken to rectify the situation
  5. Irregularities beyond own ability to rectify are recognised in time to enable remedial action to be taken
