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!

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

Plan for collection of samples

  1. Confirm purpose and scope of sample collection activity with supervisor or from work instructions
  2. Confirm sample collection schedule with supervisor
  3. Confirm sampling site location and gain approval for site access where required
  4. Identify samples to be collected and preserved with supervisor
  5. Assess range of likely operating conditions, hazards and difficult or sensitive environments for impact on sampling and testing
