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 identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competence for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competence and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statements

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Assessment must confirm sufficient knowledge of advanced vehicle recovery techniques applicable in the work environment

Assessment of performance should be over a minimum of two (2) different occasions, (forexampleover consecutive days), covering the prescribed number of categories from the Range Statements that are applicable in the learners environment

In particular, assessment must confirm the ability to

use different vehicle jacks in different terrains and environmental conditions

use a winch and a snatch block (2:1) in difficult terrain utilising ground anchor points for both hard ground and soft sand

use other types of recovery equipment (cables, tow rope, tree protectors, shackles, chains, snatch straps) in a safe and efficient manne

Interdependent assessment of units

This unit must be assessed after attainment of competency in the following unit(s)

SRODRV001B Drive and recover a 4WD vehicle

This unit must be assessed in conjunction with the following unit(s)

Nil

For the purpose of integrated assessment, this unit may be assessed in conjunction with the following unit(s)

SRODRV002B Drive a 4WD vehicle in difficult terrain using advanced technique

Required knowledge and skills

Requiredknowledge

Techniques to use jacks and recovery equipment (steel cables, tow ropes, chains, shackles)

Factors affecting choice of recovery equipment and mode of recovery

Issues to consider when defining danger zones

Effect of suction on cable/winch capacity

Advantages/disadvantages of snatch block use in a winch recovery

Maintenance procedures

Requiredskills

Use of jacks and recovery equipment (steel cables, tow ropes, chains, shackles)

Resource implications

Human resources - assessment of this unit of competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines. That is, assessors (or persons within the assessment team) must

be competent in this unit

be competent, as a minimum, in the units SRXFAD001A , SRXRIK001A and SRXEMR001A to ensure adequate risk management during the assessment

be current in their knowledge and understanding of the industry through provision of evidence of professional activity in the relevant area

have attained the mandatory competency requirements for assessors under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) as specified in Standard 7.3 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations

Consistency in performance

Due to issues such as the variation in terrain and possible recovery scenarios,this unit must be assessed overa minimum of two(2) different occasions, (forexampleover consecutive days), in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and contexts applicable

Context for assessment

This unit must be assessed on the job through practical demonstration or through simulation with a four wheel drive vehicle in environments where four wheel drive skills may be demonstrated

Assessment of this unit of competence will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning onrequired knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes

Where performance is not directly observed and/or is required to be demonstrated over a 'period of time' and/or in a 'number of locations', any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues, supervisors, clients or other appropriate persons
