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!

  2. Calculate scientific quantities involving algebraic, power, exponential and/or logarithmic functions
  3. Ensure calculated quantities are consistent with estimations

Analyse trends and relationships in data

  1. Determine linear and non-linear relationships between sets of data
  2. Prepare and analyse control charts to determine if a process is in control
  3. Identify possible causes for out-of-control condition
  4. Follow workplace procedures to return process to in-control operation

Check for aberrant results

  1. Identify results that cannot be reconciled with sample, sample documentation, testing procedures and/or expected outcomes
  2. Determine appropriate actions in consultation with supervisor
  3. Use charts, tables and graphs to present results in the required format
  4. Verify that entry of data and results are correct
  5. Prepare reports and records in a format and style consistent with their intended use and workplace guidelines
  6. Communicate results within the specified time and in accordance with workplace confidentiality and security guidelines
