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

Overview of assessment

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the Unit as a whole as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria, skills and knowledge.

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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

put into practice health and safety practices when working in oiled environments

identify and manage health and safety risks associated with oil

ensure tasks are performed in accordance with safety requirements and quality systems

recognise potential emergency situations and communicate promptly

understand and implement emergency provisions

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Simulation will be required for the timely assessment of this unit of competency. Simulation should be based on a potential work environment and should include the use of case studies/scenarios/what ifs and questions and answers.

Method of assessment

Assessment is completed using appropriately qualified assessors who select the most appropriate method of assessment.

Forms of assessment may include:

direct observation

responses to what if scenarios

third party reports from supervisors

written or oral questions

case studies

role play

Guidance information for assessment

Where possible assessment should be completed holistically and may be assessed with other relevant units of competence for example but not limited to:

HLTFA301C Apply first aid

PUAOIL402 Apply oiled shoreline assessment strategies in an oil spill response

PUAOIL403 Lead a team in oiled shoreline clean up

Required Skills and Knowledge

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

Required Skills
