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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Candidates must demonstrate an ability to work with stakeholders and generate an agreed list of recommended treatment options in an appropriate format.

Consistency in performance

Candidates should be expected to present evidence from at least two different contexts, one of which may be simulated.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Evidence of competence in this unit may be collected in a simulated environment and real environment, often as part of a larger project with concurrent assessment of other emergency risk management competencies.

Specific resources for assessment

For the demonstration of competence in this unit it will be necessary to participate in a real-world project.

Underpinning knowledge may be assessed through written assignments, project reports, debriefings and action learning projects in real or simulated environments.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit contains many transferable skills, such as communication, consultation, research and analysis skills that can be applied in the emergency risk management context. Assessors should use formative assessment strategies in a simulated environment to contextualise underpinning knowledge. Summative assessment requires application of the unit in a real-world project, often in an action-learning project.

This unit may be assessed with other units that address other parts of the emergency risk management process.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

Research and analysis skills to determine potential treatment options

ability to negotiate and work effectively with stakeholder groups

analytical techniques to determine residual risk

analytical techniques to conduct benefit:cost analysis at an appropriate level

Required Knowledge

emergency risk management concepts and principles included in the current National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines and AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk management—Principles and Guidelines

legislative and regulatory requirements relevant to emergency risk management

jurisdiction and organisational documentation and submission procedures

analytical, problem solving and decision making techniques to facilitate evaluating residual risk and cost-benefit analysis

geospatial databases and presentation options

range of options for treating emergency risk

Range Statement

The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.

Stakeholders may include:

staff

client groups

decision makers

members of the public

community groups

industry groups

public and private sector organisations

non-government organisations

changing the likelihood of

an initiating event or source of risk occurring

retaining the risk based on an informed decision

Evaluation methods may include:
