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!

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:

applying relevant WHS practices

setting up applicable test equipment

determining test points and polarity

measuring required parameters

recording results under qualified person guidance.

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into all areas that require the use of basic electrical test equipment. It is essential that the general aspects of electrical test equipment identification, preparation for use and safe application to a representative range of measurement and testing tasks are clearly demonstrated.

Evidence of knowledge about the preparation and use, in accordance with enterprise procedures, of the range of test equipment used for the measurement and testing tasks listed in the Range of Conditions, and of the methods used to identify applicable polarity and connection to components and circuits for required measurement or testing.

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

the range of relevant electrical test equipment used to measure or test:

volts and amps

continuity, resistance and insulation

bonding

identification methods used to confirm test equipment is serviceable and current regarding calibration

use of selectors and scale adjustment of each item of test equipment to ensure accurate measurement of applicable parameter

methods of connection of test equipment to components being tested

methods used to determine polarity and applicable connection points for measurement or testing.

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Required parameters include measurement/testing of:

Volts and amps

Continuity, resistance and insulation

Bonding
