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!

MEM234011 - Design programmable logic controller applications

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

Clarify client brief or contract requirements

  1. Establish the required features and functions of the application and establish control requirements in consultation with the client
  2. Determine technical, commercial and environmental parameters of the brief or contract
  3. Determine stakeholders to be consulted in the design and application process
  4. Provide initial advice to client on the feasibility of the project
