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!

AHCPHT209 - Produce trellis dried grapes

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

Summer prune a grape crop for trellis drying

  1. Reduce leaf coverage on fruiting canes to assist cutting, emulsion application and drying
  2. Cut canes in accordance with enterprise standards
  3. Leave replacement canes intact and undamaged to ensure next year’s fruiting
  4. Spray grapes requiring emulsion treatment to ensure full and complete coverage
