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!

Instructions to Assessors

Required Skills and Knowledge

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 on at least one occasion and include:

determining the extent of the evaluation

comparing manufacturer's technical data for alternative or new technologies with proposed project specifications, budget and regulations accurately

reporting evaluation, including recommendations and justifications for adoption or rejection of the alternative and new technologies evaluated

dealing with unplanned events

applying environmental and sustainable energy principles and practices

applying relevant legislation, industry standards, codes of practice and regulations

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including:

applying safe working practices

implementing risk control measures

conducting evaluation tests

determining need to test or measure live work

evaluating performance benefits and limitations of new and developed technologies for given applications

making and documenting recommendations and justifications.

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:
