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

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to:

assess the needs of a diving casualty and provide first aid as required

assist in the treatment of diving-related health conditions and illnesses

complete calculations accurately relating to depth, pressure, temperature, gases and buoyancy

comply with regulations and industry standards relating to occupational diving

follow OHS requirements for diving operations

Assessment must confirm knowledge of:

first aid principles as they relate to diving-related conditions, illnesses and accidents

hazards associated with diving

regulations, Australian standards and industry standards related to diving

the advantages and limitations of the use of gases

the laws and principles relating to depth, pressure, temperature, gases and buoyancy

the statutory requirements for OHS in diving operations

the use and effect of gases

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment is to be conducted at the workplace or in a simulated work environment.

Resources may include:

current first aid manuals

manuals relating to the various regulations and codes of practice

relevant diving equipment

suitable dive sites

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

observation of practical demonstration
