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!

SISOFLD005 - Navigate waterway courses

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

Plan the course.

  1. Obtain and interpret waterway charts appropriate for the area of navigation.
  2. Determine expected wind, tidal, or current conditions for the intended course.
  3. Identify navigational hazards, position of landmarks and any buoyage to assist in planning and navigating the course.
  4. Utilise all information to plan an efficient course according to specific activity and waterway requirements.
  5. Identify and plot critical points along the course, midpoint and end destinations.
  6. Prepare a navigation data sheet, and identify emergency or contingency escape routes.
Obtain and interpret waterway charts appropriate for the area of navigation.

Navigate waterway courses.

  1. Select instrumentation and equipment suitable for navigation requirements.
  2. Follow the planned course using charts, natural and constructed features and any buoyage to assist.
  3. Use instrumentation and equipment as navigational aids to maintain course.
  4. Make required adjustments to course according to prevailing environmental conditions.
  5. Comply with waterway rules throughout all activities, including use of craft within permitted areas.
