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

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

demonstrate the safe deployment and operation of equipment to contain, recover and store oil

identify hazardous situations that may arise and take appropriate action

communicate effectively with others involved in the response

monitor and reassess situations to ensure the best possible response according to environmental conditions

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed in a simulated response environment or in an operational situation. It is suggested that Apply basic equipment operation be assessed either prior or with this unit.

Method of assessment

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