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!

MSFFL2010 - Prepare walls for coverings

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

Prepare for work

  1. Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements and Australian Standards relevant to wall preparation for coverings on wall substrate are verified and complied with
  2. Instructions and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify the process required to complete work tasks
  3. The condition of the walls are assessed to prepare walls to a smooth flat surface, and the extent of preparation required is confirmed
  4. Suitable primers, smoothing and repairing compounds are selected
  5. Surfaces are checked for contamination, moisture content, plane, smooth, square internal and external corners and suitable preparation
  6. Material safety data sheets (MSDS), or equivalent, are read and applied during the work
  7. Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
  8. Sequence of work is planned, including the starting point, to ensure efficiency and quality of installation
