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!

PPMQAS420 - Co-ordinate in-process quality assurance

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

Identify and monitor critical control points in-process system

  1. Identify work order, documentation and procedures relating to work health and safety (WHS) procedures, environmental and standard operating procedures (SOP) and housekeeping requirements.
  2. Identify critical control points in the in-process system to determine priorities for checking and maintaining quality.
  3. Monitor performance at each critical control point in the in-process system, through inspection and testing, to assure quality and to identify the need for corrective action.
