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!

Must provide evidence that demonstrates sufficient knowledge to interact with relevant personnel and be able to develop an appropriate response to schemes regulating sustainability including knowledge of:

relevant regulations/legislation

Regulation includes one or more of

regulations and legislation as may be in force to regulate emissions or similar

standards (such as AS/NZS ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standards), codes of practice and other sustainability related regulation arrangements.
