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!

MSL904002 - Perform standard calibrations

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

Perform calibration

  1. Perform individual tests without variance according to the documented procedure to ensure repeatability of measurement
  2. Confirm readings are the result of a valid measurement and record data as required (as-found or before adjustment)
  3. Adjust device under test to bring readings within specification and record data (as-left or after adjustment) where required
  4. Analyse resulting test data to detect trends or inconsistencies that would significantly affect the accuracy or validity of test results
  5. Seek appropriate advice when interpretation of results is outside authorised scope of approval
