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!

AHCCHM310 - Conduct manual fumigation of vertebrate and invertebrate pests

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

Determine type and method of fumigation

  1. Identify the pest characteristics and degree of infestation
  2. Assess the infestation and determine threshold for fumigant treatment
  3. Identify fumigant treatment options for vertebrate and invertebrate pests
  4. Identify and select fumigant and its application rate according to chemical label and pest to be controlled
  5. Identify hazards, assess risks and implement control measures for pest fumigation activities
