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!

MSS015050 - Conduct an emissions audit

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

Identify all sources and uses of materials in process

  1. Define the scope and parameters of process to be audited according to regulatory and/or organisational requirements
  2. Identify all external and internal sources of materials relevant to process
  3. Identify all uses of materials by the process overall
  4. Identify all uses of materials by process steps and related plant and equipment
