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!

Report outcome to appropriate personnel

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and demonstrate the ability to:

identify fluid power problem and possible problem causes

take appropriate action in a timely manner

apply operational knowledge to non-routine problems

develop appropriate maintenance schedule/requirements.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

hazards and hazard controls specific to the fluid power system and the plant it is used on

principles of hydraulics/pneumatics and circuit components

fluid power circuit diagrams

types and causes of known fluid power problems for the plant unit and its components

corrective action appropriate to the problem cause

appropriate investigation procedures and use of equipment for a range of equipment faults.

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Regulatory framework

The latest version of all legislation, regulations, industry codes of practice and Australian/international standards, or the version specified by the local regulatory authority, must be used, and include one or more of the following:

legislative requirements, including work health and safety (WHS)

industry codes of practice and guidelines
