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!

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:

applying relevant WHS practices, including the use of PPE and reference to MSDS

using approved repair/fabrication procedures and processes relating to electrical cables, harnesses, antenna leads and aerial components

recognising the integrity/security of electrical component crimps, wire wrapping, joints, and plug/connector pins

constructing cables, harnesses and looms, including wire marking, to approved industry standards

performing component testing to assess post-construction serviceability.

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into other areas that require similar techniques. It is essential that the general aspects of material specification and selection, measurement and fabrication/manufacture are related to specific aircraft component applications.

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

component and system operation

aircraft wiring specifications and standards

standard repair methods for:

electrical cables

ignition harnesses

fire warning system harnesses

coaxial cables, such as antenna leads

aerial components

electrical plugs and connectors

soldering methods

fabrication methods for the above wiring and cables
