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!

SFIAQU502 - Develop and implement an aquaculture breeding strategy

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

Determine breeding objectives

  1. Determine breeding strategy requirements in consideration of capacity of facility, relevant characteristics of cultured or held stock, and marketing and production plans
  2. Interpret and use breeding and production records as the basis for breeding strategy
  3. Assess economic feasibility of breeding objectives
  4. Determine selection aims or goals according to workplace or customer requirements

Review the breeding program

  1. Research mechanisation or automation of process or activity, including the use of specialised contract services, and make recommendations to management
  2. Analyse data from stock selection and sales to evaluate success of breeding program against breeding strategy and objectives
  3. Update breeding plan to detail procedures for changes in breeding objectives
  4. Inform personnel on implementation of breeding plan
