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!

ACMINF502 - Manage equine biosecurity and infection control

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

Assess the risk of the equine work site to the introduction of diseases or contaminants

  1. Research information on equine disease, infection control, biosecurity and emergency animal disease response
  2. Identify and analyse the risks of introducing diseases or contaminants to the equine work site
  3. Evaluate the level of risk and prioritise unacceptable or high-level risks specific to work site
  4. Assess the risk of an emergency disease outbreak for work site and geographic area
  5. Determine options for treating and/or minimising identified risks
