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!

SFIAQU203 - Manipulate stock culture environment

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for manipulation of culture or holding environment

  1. Confirm with supervisor water quality parameter to be adjusted
  2. Collect required water treatment materials, equipment and personal protective equipment, and check for serviceability
  3. Observe water and environmental conditions that could adversely impact stock, and report to supervisor

Manipulate culture or holding environment

  1. Apply water treatment safely and in accordance with work health and safety (WHS), food safety, biosecurity and environmental regulations, stock requirements and supervisor instructions
  2. Observe stock behaviour and use work practices that minimise stock stress and damage
  3. Check water parameters manipulated against stock requirements

Instructions to Assessors

Required Skills and Knowledge

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.

There must be evidence that the individual has manipulated the stock culture environment on at least one occasion, including:

communicating with and reporting to supervisor on manipulating the stock culture environment

preparing and safely applying basic water treatment using appropriate water treatment materials, equipment and personal protective equipment

monitoring culture and holding environments to ensure optimal conditions for rearing stock, while adhering to workplace health and safety, food safety, biosecurity and environmental regulations

completing accurate observation records to demonstrate compliance with workplace procedures

cleaning up work area and storing tools and equipment after environment manipulation activities.

An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

use and purpose of basic water quality tests

features of basic water quality and environmental factors that can impact stock

effects of water and culture conditions on stock

key characteristics of normal and abnormal stock behaviour

methods and techniques for manipulating stock culture or holding environments

main reasons for manipulating the stock culture environment

safe work practices and biosecurity measures used when manipulating stock culture and holding environments.
