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!

apply known solutions to routine problems

communicate effectively with team/work group and supervisors.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

hazards that may arise in the job/work environment

principles of operation of equipment/plant:

impact of type and duty

potential effects of variations in raw materials and equipment operation in relation to quality of product

factors which may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies

reasons for checking process control panels and reporting readings which do not conform to the work instructions.
