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 Guide

The Evidence Guide specifies the evidence required to demonstrate achievement in the unit of competency as a whole. It must be read in conjunction with the Unit descriptor, Performance Criteria, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Public Sector Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	In addition to integrated demonstration of the elements and their related performance criteria, look for evidence that confirms consistency of performance in intercepting and inspecting vehicles. This will include evidence of: undertaking at least three actual or simulated vehicle interceptions and inspections on three separate occasions and with different vehicle configurations where one may be an unladen vehicle using equipment under operational conditions maintaining operational safety at all times adhering to legal, ethical and organisational requirements relating to the interception and inspection of vehicles enforcing legislation within the limits of the officer’s authority
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure access to a real or simulated workplace environment that closely resembles normal work practice and replicates the range of conditions likely to be encountered while intercepting and inspecting vehicles, including coping with difficulties, irregularities and breakdowns in routine. Access is required to resources such as: applicable legislation, policies and procedures case studies and workplace scenarios to capture the range of requirements for situations likely to be encountered vehicles, equipment and materials generally present in an operational environment personal protective equipment
Method of assessment	Assessment methods suitable for valid and reliable assessment of this unit of competency may include, but are not limited to, a combination of 2 or more of: case studies demonstration observation written or oral questions scenarios simulation or role plays authenticated evidence from the workplace and/or training courses
Guidance information for assessment	Assessment methods should reflect workplace demands, such as literacy, and the needs of particular groups, such as: people with disabilities people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people women young people older people people in rural and remote locations
