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

Evidence Guide

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to effectively direct and control the direct fire support weapon crew; to supervise both sustained fire machine gun and medium direct fire support weapons; to supervise command post activities when established; and to supervise sight testing supervise non-technical inspections.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated in a simulated operational environment over time while firing live high explosive and ball link ammunition.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency should be assessed in a simulated operational environment.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to at least two direct fire support weapons of each type such as sustained fire machine gun and medium direct fire support weapons; competent direct fire support weapon crews; live ammunition; and a live firing range.

Guidance information for assessment

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.
