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!

applying relevant risk identification, assessment, reporting and control requirements

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including the use of risk control measures

configuring the microcontroller to use the input/output (I/O) ports for reading digital inputs and writing to digital outputs

configuring microcontroller timers

configuring timers to provide different microcontroller functions

coordinating work with relevant person/s

implementing a program for a specific task

implementing code to perform specific tasks.

providing justification for solutions to problems

providing solutions to microcontroller software problems

uploading code to a microcontroller using the correct set-up for the architecture and using appropriate programming hardware

using a microcontroller and attached relevant components to test and debug code

using industry standard integrated development environment (IDE) to develop code

using methodical problem-solving methods

using the inbuilt functions of an IDE to simulate the functions and registers of a microcontroller in order test and debug code.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies and procedures
