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!

Research finish options

  1. Assess aesthetic requirements of finish and identify potential options
  2. Evaluate intended use against functional features of different products
  3. Identify and consider new and emerging finish technologies for their application to the brief
  4. Identify application requirements in terms of available expertise
  5. Evaluate finish properties for their safety and sustainability
  6. Source and compare information about costs and availability against project brief
