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!

MEA141 - Manage risk in aviation maintenance

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

Identify the criteria for risk management

  1. Risk management procedures are identified from the organisation’s risk management plan/maintenance organisation exposition

  3. Criteria for managing the identified risks are determined in accordance with standard risk management procedures and documented as a risk management plan
  4. The process for evaluation and review of the risk management plan is identified from the organisation’s plan or an evaluation methodology is developed and included in the plan developed in accordance with standard risk management procedures
