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!

ACMGAS304 - Carry out simple breeding procedures

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Select animals for breeding

  1. Identify the basic principles of genetics related to breeding program requirements
  2. Identify breeding program requirements and clarify with supervisor
  3. Select animals for mating according to the breeding program
  4. Schedule examinations and tests, as required, to confirm suitability of selected animals with breeding program
  5. Monitor individual animals to determine the current stage of their reproductive cycle
  6. Identify WHS hazards associated with working with animals, assess the risks and implement control measures in case of emergency
  7. Select and use appropriate personal protective equipment
