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!

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

agitator vehicle that is consistent with current industry standards

tools, equipment and PPE currently used in the concrete industry

regulatory requirements and equipment documentation that impact on work activities currently used in the concrete industry

Method of assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge
