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

recognise and analyse control system faults

identify and select testing methods based on cost and time effectiveness

identify and develop maintenance requirements

propose solutions and carry out solutions within scope of authority

apply operational knowledge to non-routine problems

identify and implement corrective actions

monitor process and equipment conditions.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

fundamentals of electricity and electronics

electronic circuit diagrams

principles of electronic circuit components

principles of PLC programming, troubleshooting and diagnosis

appropriate testing procedures and use of equipment for a range of equipment faults

interaction of process conditions on product quality

routine and non-routine causes of equipment failures and processes to develop solutions.

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

environmental regulations and guidelines

Australian and other standards

licence and certification requirements

Procedures

All operations must be performed in accordance with relevant procedures.

Procedures are written, verbal, visual, computer-based or in some other form, and include one or more of the following:

emergency procedures

work instructions
