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!

3. Confirm status of fuel supply system and related services. This may include confirming availability of auxiliary fuel

4. Conduct pre-start checks

5. Demonstrate set up and start up procedures in both manual and automatic modes and starting for normal operation and after emergency stops

6. Monitor fuel supply system operation. This typically includes monitoring:

fuel levels

temperature

coal system - may include shake times, blow pressure and fuel moisture levels

ash systems

fuel oil pressure (on auxiliary system)

7. Take corrective action in response to abnormal or unacceptable performance

8. Demonstrate procedure for test firing burners

9. Demonstrate procedure for removing, inspecting, cleaning and replacing oil burners. This involves use of go/no go gauges on atomising tips

10. Demonstrate procedure for clearing fuel blockages or chokes throughout the system
