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!

Instructions to Assessors

Required Skills and Knowledge

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

applying constant-rate-of-turn techniques

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and work practices

basing all decisions concerning berthing and anchoring on a proper assessment of vessel manoeuvring and engine characteristics and the forces to be expected while berthed alongside or lying at anchor

berthing and unberthing under various conditions of wind, tide and current with and without tugs

determining the manoeuvring and propulsion characteristics of common types of vessels, with special references to stopping distances and turning circles at various draughts and speeds

handling vessels in rivers, estuaries and restricted waters having due regard to the effects of current, wind and restricted water on helm response

issuing helm and engine orders

maintaining situation awareness

making a full assessment of possible effects of shallow and restricted waters, ice, banks, tidal conditions, passing vessels and own vessel bow and stern wave while under way so that the vessel can be safely manoeuvred under various conditions of loading and weather

managing and handling vessels in heavy weather, including assisting a vessel or aircraft in distress, towing operations, keeping unmanageable vessel out of trough of the sea, lessening drift and using oil

manoeuvring in shallow water, including the reduction in under-keel clearance caused by squat, rolling and pitching

using propulsion and manoeuvring systems

using remote controls of propulsion plant and auxiliary machinery.
