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!

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least three separate occasions and include:

applying relevant workplace procedures

completing relevant documentation

identifying different types of track and right of way infrastructure defects

identifying, selecting and using tools and equipment

implementing contingency plans

identifying job hazards and taking required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards

interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work

modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments

monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule

operating and adapting to differences in equipment in accordance with operating procedures

reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information and signs

recording and documenting identified defects in relation to workplace standards

recording and reporting results of visually inspecting track and right of way in required format

reporting and/or rectifying identified problems, faults or malfunctions, in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
