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!

Grade wood product visually

  1. Assess wood product characteristics visually for strength and/or appearance by identifying and measuring defects against performance requirements for wood product type and end-use application according to workplace grade specifications and relevant Australian Standards or industry codes of practice
  2. Measure wood product moisture content and length requirements and tolerances against allowable limits for wood product type and end-use application according to workplace grade specifications relevant Australian Standards or industry codes of practice
  3. Determine and mark defects and wood products that require docking, regrading or reworking and those that are rejected
  4. Brand, label, stamp or mark each graded wood product to indicate compliance with relevant Australian Standard and/or CodeMark certification requirements
  5. Record wood product grading outcomes
