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!

AHCCOM403 - Develop a composting recipe

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

Identify and characterise raw materials

  1. Identify raw materials against established workplace criteria
  2. Enter raw material characteristics into compost recipe calculator to achieve a balanced recipe
  3. Take samples of material for analysis where raw material identity or characteristics are uncertain
  4. Determine receivable and handling requirements of raw materials

Calculate compost recipe

  1. Record raw material characteristics in compost recipe
  2. Specify raw material ratios by weight in resulting compost recipe
  3. Determine raw material pre-processing requirements, volumes of compost upon formation, and compost production plan
  4. Review and document composting batch management procedures
  5. Estimate and document compost production schedule
  6. Verify compost recipe and production schedule against compost production plan
  7. Quantify density of pre-processed raw materials and translate weight-based recipe into volume-based recipe for production
  8. Record volumetric compost recipe and production procedures as operational batch or bucket recipe and procedures

Validate compost recipe

  1. Prepare and mix raw materials to form feedstock for composting
  2. Supervise composting batch according to workplace procedure
  3. Monitor composting process for efficiency in relation to estimated production schedule and workplace requirements
  4. Monitor environmental and health and safety aspects and impacts
  5. Identify faults, variations or problems, and implement remedial action
  6. Sample and test material to determine completion of process
  7. Evaluate end product quality against product specifications
  8. Revise compost recipe, production schedule and procedures
