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!

Evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role, and:

identify and document supervision requirements for at least three different operational situations according to regulatory requirements

implement and monitor supervision requirements at an aquatic facility on at least three different occasions, involving at least three of the following situations:

where requirements change without notice

when there are groups of children in the facility

where inflatables are being used

during periods of high use

during periods of low use
