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!

Provide feedback and determine action

  1. Feedback on the outcome of performance monitoring is provided to the person monitored, and to other personnel as agreed in the relevant guidelines, using communication to suit each particular audience.
  2. Agreement on action/follow-up required is negotiated with the person monitored, and an action plan is documented.
  3. Where agreement cannot be reached, reports are prepared and further action is taken if necessary, in accordance with organisational policy and procedures.
  4. Learning and development opportunities related to performance standards are identified and included as required.
  5. Ongoing monitoring is used to ensure that action/follow-up occurs in accordance with agreement.
