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!

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

Source and assess existing site information and data

  1. Confirm the client’s information needs, timeframe and site map specifications

  5. Obtain selected data sets in accordance with workplace procedures
  6. Build a detailed description of the site using existing information and data and identify any gaps
  7. Establish information needs and identify field techniques to collect relevant spatial and environmental data
  8. Determine procedures and methods to be used for field work
  9. Determine data format and quality requirements, site permits and/or access restrictions and legislative/regulatory requirements relevant to field data collection
  10. Clarify and/or confirm requirements with supervisor
  11. Assemble and check all field equipment and supplies are fit for purpose, and prepare and stow them for safe transport
  12. Take sufficient and accurate measurements of the site and its features to ensure data reliability
Confirm the client’s information needs, timeframe and site map specifications
