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!

MSL976006 - Evaluate and select appropriate test methods and/or procedures

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

Determine sample characteristics and testing requirements

  1. Confirm drivers for evaluation and selection of test methods and/or procedures
  2. Examine sample documentation and/or consult with sample supplier to determine nature of samples
  3. Identify sample characteristics which may affect testing requirements
  4. Determine testing requirements and their compatibility with existing workplace procedures
