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!

  3. Identify and address potential risks, hazards and environmental issues and implement control measures
  4. Select and wear personal protective equipment appropriate for work activities
  5. Receive and analyse information and clarify factors to be considered in the search plan
  6. Identify, liaise and clarify roles with relevant external agencies
  7. Develop a search plan and contingency search plans in consultation with external agencies and mine operational personnel
  8. Identify and access equipment required
  9. Communicate and coordinate activities with others prior to, during and on completion of the work activity
