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 of competence in this unit must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include demonstration of:

accurately coding, checking, recording and storing data in the required format

performing simple calculations involving scientific quantities, with or without a calculator or computer software. The following must be performed:

decimals, fractions, ratios, proportions and percentages

unit conversion, multiples and submultiples

use of significant figures, rounding off, estimation and approximation

substitution of data in formulae

conversions between SI units

performing at least five (5) of the following calculations:

perimeters

angles

areas (m2) and volumes (mL, L, m3) of regular shapes (e.g. packaging and moulds)

average mass, mass %, density, specific gravity, moisture, relative and absolute humidity

ratios, such as mass to mass, mass to volume and volume to volume percentages

industry specific ratios, such as g/cm2 , kg/m2

concentration (e.g. g/100mL, mg/L, mg/L)

dilution

statistical values, such as mean, median, mode and standard deviation

average count, colonies per swab surface and cell counts (live and dead/total)

process variables, such as pressure, velocity and flow rates

% content of moisture, ash, fat, protein, alcohol, sulphur dioxide and trace metals, such as calcium or zinc

food properties, such as % concentration (dry), friability, bitterness, brix, free amino nitrogen, diastatic power, calorific content and yeast viability

preparing and interpreting straightforward tables, graphs and charts of data

recognising obvious features and trends in data, including:

maximum and minimum values

spread of data

increasing/decreasing data, rate of change

outliers, data beyond control limits or normal range

presenting accurate results in the required format

maintaining the confidentiality of data in accordance with workplace and regulatory requirements.
