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 ability to:

manoeuvre and position a vessel to conduct successful fishing

land fish or tag and release fish as required

communicate instructions, advice and information of interest to customer.

Assessment must confirm knowledge of:

anchoring and mooring techniques

effect of current and wind on hook and line position

fish catching, landing and releasing techniques

techniques that control vessel drift.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

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

Resources may include:

customers

operational charter fishing vessel.

Method of assessment

The following assessment methods are suggested:

demonstration

practical exercises

project (work or scenario based)

written or oral short-answer testing.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit may be assessed holistically with other units within a qualification.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills
