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!

SISOCHC001 - Lead challenge course sessions, low elements

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

Prepare equipment and participants.

  1. Assess characteristics, condition and capability of participants, as they present, and obtain informed consent.
  2. Confirm participants have clothing and footwear appropriate for the activity and anticipated weather conditions.
  3. Select and set up personal protective equipment (PPE) to match participants, low elements and prevailing conditions.
  4. Complete, for PPE, required safety and serviceability inspections and reports according to organisational procedures.
  5. Direct and assist participants to fit and adjust personal protective equipment; check comfort and safety of fit.
