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 two separate occasions and include:

applying problem-solving techniques

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

applying sustainable energy principles and practices

dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment

determining the extent of the energy sector problems/issues

developing strategies to address environmental and sustainability issues

documenting instruction for implementation of solutions that incorporate risk control measure to be followed

documenting justification of solutions implemented in accordance with professional standards

forming effective strategies for solution development and implementation

obtaining energy system/component parameters, specifications and performance requirements appropriate to each issue.

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:

common issues/problems in a sustainable energy sector environment

efficient and sustainable energy use and supply, including techniques for reducing the greenhouse gas intensity of energy supply

environmental and sustainability strategies

greenhouse best practice in industrial processes and waste management, including types and methods of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industry

greenhouse gas emissions profile

problem-solving techniques

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies and procedures.

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Addressing environmental and sustainability issues must include the following:
