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!

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	It is essential for this unit that competence be demonstrated in assessment of incident both functionally and strategically; development of a plan and implementation of response in accordance with the organisation's policies and procedures. Strategic reaction to changes within the emergency environment Consistency in performance Evidence should be gathered over a period of time in a range of actual or simulated workplace environments
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Context of assessment Assessment may occur in an operational environment or in an industry-approved simulated work environment Specific resources for assessment Resources should involve access to, or simulation of, emergency situations in a multi-team response environment. This includes resources relating to: equipment, personnel, facilities etc appropriate to the emergency situation and within the bounds of responsibility as designated within the requirements of control
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.
