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!

TDMMA307B - PLAN AND MONITOR THE CARRIAGE OF DANGEROUS CARGOES

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan the loading, stowage, security and unloading of dangerous cargo

  1. The dangerous cargo to be loaded or unloaded is identified and its characteristics and dimensions established
  2. Communications between the vessel and the shore terminal are conducted prior to the vessel's arrival concerning loading and unloading arrangements
  3. The longitudinal stresses acting on vessel's hull for the intended dangerous cargo stowage configuration are calculated
  4. The trim and stability of the vessel during loading/unloading operations and when loaded are calculated, including the use of a GZ curve
  5. The vessel's stowage plan is prepared and interpreted in accordance with company procedures
