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 and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

conducts assessment of recovery site and determines potential hazards, risks and environmental conditions that impact on the chosen recovery method

selects and uses rated recovery equipment to enable recovery of four wheel drive vehicle, including a pulley or snatch block in difficult terrain utilising ground anchor points for both hard and soft ground

applies regular maintenance of recovery equipment.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure coordination of vehicle recoveries using recovery or snatch straps, winches and jacks in difficult terrain types to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.

Assessment must also ensure access to:

a four wheel drive vehicle with low range

a suitable outdoor environment with difficult terrain

maintenance, repair and recovery equipment

legislation and organisational policies and procedures that impact on the conduct of four wheel drive recoveries.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

observation of four wheel drive vehicle recovery in difficult terrain using recovery or snatch straps, winches and jacks

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of recovery methods used in difficult terrain

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance.

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

SISODRV404A Drive a 4WD vehicle in difficult terrain.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

problem-solving skills to:

determine appropriate recovery method according to the situation

use of recovery or snatch straps, winches and jacks to enable safe selection and use of equipment

hazards and risks associated with each recovery method and methods of mitigating these risks

terrain and weather features and how these may impact on recovery

maintenance procedures used for recovery equipment.
