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!

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessment must confirm the ability to: assess and plan for the transfer/loading of dangerous goods select equipment and work systems identify job and site hazards plan work to minimise risks determine required permits and compliance with relevant regulations/codes of practice maintain records and documentation. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over time in a variety of planning environments or in simulated environments.

Context of and specific resources for assessment	Context of assessment Competency should be assessed an actual or simulated activity. Specific resources for assessment Access is required to: appropriate range of operational contexts involving relevant systems, personnel, equipment, work instructions and deadlines.

Method of assessment	In a public safety environment assessment is usually conducted via direct observation in a training environment or in the workplace via subject matter supervision and/or mentoring, which is typically recorded in a competency workbook.
