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:

understanding the nature of the problem

using established routines to solve apparatus problems

providing viable solutions to apparatus problems

documenting justification for the solutions used

dealing with unplanned events

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

applying sustainable energy principles and practices

checking isolation of circuits/machines/systems

coordinating work with relevant person/s

determining live electrical testing/measurement requirements

identifying and accessing materials, tools, equipment and testing devices

solving problems in wind energy conversion systems (WECS).

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:

types, construction and operating features of small WECS, construction and operating features to the extent indicated by the following aspects:

basic operation of lift and drag type WECS

characteristics of WECS in terms of power and torque, efficiency (power and output co-efficient), solidity and tip speed ratio

major categories and sub-categories of WECS

advantages and disadvantages of each type of WECS

suitable materials for the construction of WECS taking into consideration fatigue stresses and environmental conditions such as salt air, humidity and ice

typical system configurations and components for stand-alone power systems and water pumping

strategies and/or mechanisms to control mechanical stresses on the WECS in gale force winds and power output for battery charging

appropriate types of WECS for a particular application

problem-solving techniques

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant safe work method statements (SWMS)/job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements
