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!

AHCBEK408 - Provide bee pollination services

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

Assess pollination service requirement

  1. Discuss and confirm the pollination services required with client
  2. Determine number, location and types of colonies required for crop
  3. Confirm state, territory and local government legislative and regulatory and requirements, including biosecurity affecting pollination services
  4. Assess strength, condition and health of bee colonies for their suitability for use as crop pollinators
  5. Assess risk of pollination problems with client and establish process to monitor risk
  6. Provide technical information to client to support bee performance and maintain health
  7. Obtain appropriate certificates and permits where bees are to be moved across state borders
