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!

TLIA4031 - Consolidate freight

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

Assess scope to consolidate freight

  1. Capacity and capability of different transport modes available to the organisation are assessed against proposed task
  2. Individual consignment loads are evaluated to identify relevant information needed to combine or consolidate freight
  3. Information is analysed to determine where opportunities for freight consolidation exist
  4. Regulatory packaging and labelling requirements for consolidated cargo are followed
  5. Procedures for loading cargo are planned in accordance with established industry practice and Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code
  6. Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures are implemented
  7. Volumes and dimensions of proposed consolidation are calculated
  8. Proposed consolidation is matched against operational capacity and capability of carrier
Capacity and capability of different transport modes available to the organisation are assessed against proposed task
