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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform marine slipping operations. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with performing marine slipping operations, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

identifying measurements relevant to positioning of hull structure on slipping facilities from plans/verbal instruction

setting slip to accommodate vessel according to design, dimensions and weight

providing/positioning relevant support bearer/blocks and arms according to design, dimensions and vessel weight

operating slip and slipping machinery

manoeuvring vessel in accordance with set-up of slipping facility

securing vessel in preparation for slipping

inspecting vessel when slipped to ensure adequacy of hull support

adjusting and fixing support mechanisms as required

clearing site and preparing vessel for launching

performing safety checks to ensure vessel stability and watertight integrity

positioning hull supports, such as arms, slings, to allow clear passage for removal of vessel

mooring vessel in accordance with requirements of mooring facility

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

types of slipways and operational procedures

interpretation of ships/boats drawings, slipping specifications or instructions

safety and legislative requirements for slipping and launching vessels

different types of hull structures, dimensions, vessel weights and appropriate slipping arrangements

methods of supporting/securing vessel ready for slipping

methods of supporting hull during and after slipping

procedures for operating slipway and slipway machinery

procedures for positioning slip and manoeuvring vessels

techniques for trimming and final securing of slipped vessel and disengaging slipway machinery

knots, lashings and their applications

pre-launch preparation requirements

safety checks to be performed

checks to ensure stability and watertight integrity

procedures used in launching vessels

mooring methods

procedures for recovering and securing slip

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Vessel support and slip devices

Slings, shoring, cables, stays, blocks, chocks etc.
