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



Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessment must confirm the ability to supervise a range of missions such as: General construction of pre-designed timber structures, sandbag walls, obstacles, expedient structures and field defences using the following techniques: construction design and plans excavation revetment basic carpentry concreting The construction process must include the design and use of field machines (field machines may include devices such as slings, gyns, derricks and sheers to construct the mechanical advantage necessary to lift and move the load) to move a load of at least three tonne. Searchof: an occupied building an unoccupied building a vehicle (may include aircraft, boat, truck, train etc) route (road) area and involving liaison with a higher authority (search advisor, cordon commander, police, explosive ordnance disposal, etc.). Offensive, defensive and security tasks (such as patrolling, attacking or withdrawing) involving: navigation (day, night, vehicle, foot) tracking and patrolling employment of unit weapon systems: individual weapons crew served weapons direct fire support weapons communications living in the field. The individual should be exposed to the extremes of the operational environment where a person is under physical and mental stress. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time in a range of environments. This may be in an operational or simulated operational setting.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the context of commanding an engineering sub-unit and should replicate the extremes of an operational environment. The assessment would usually be simulated due to the nature of this high-risk environment. Specific resources for assessment Access to a group of engineers of sub-unit size or below, including weapons, equipment and appropriate operating areas.
Guidance information for assessment	Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
