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!

NWPSOU028 - Prepare and report on data related to flood operations

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

Analyse rainfall and run-off regimes

  1. Access and interpret historical rainfall run-off and flooding regimes of specific catchments.
  2. Study records to determine previous rainfall amounts, durations and time taken to reach catchment.
  3. Model simulated, hypothetical or estimated rainfall intensity data and model catchment.
  4. Collate, manipulate and interpret data.
