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
Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Appropriate repair process includes the following:

compliance with product requirements

greatest ease of execution

best financial return

greatest sustainability contribution

Repair techniques include one (1) or more of the following:

hand moulding

hand lay-up skills

applying resin infusion techniques

applying syringe technique

using ultraviolet (UV) curable resin systems

using other open and closed mould techniques

Incidental design includes the following:

improves on an original design weakness (e.g. might be shown up by the failure being repaired)

changes the original design to incorporate current techniques, materials or practices

better meets customer needs

Preparing materials includes the following:

cutting to size and shape, as required

any pre-treatment required

calculating amount of resin and resin components required

mixing resin systems

Process considerations include one (1) or more of the following:

cost/benefit of different repair techniques and materials

customer wants more improvement than is technically feasible

customer wants more improvements than insurance will pay for

Sustainability includes the following:

survival of the ecology/physical environment

economic viability

social sustainability
