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!

SISOFLD008 - Navigate in extremely difficult tracked and untracked environments

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

Plan for navigation.

  1. Obtain and become familiar with maps, appropriate for the activity, and features that will assist with navigation at the location.
  2. Interpret map symbols and information to plan an efficient route according to specific activity requirements.
  3. Select a compass suitable for navigation requirements.
  4. Calculate grid, magnetic and true north bearings using map, compass and protractor.
  5. Prepare a navigation data sheet, and identify emergency or contingency escape routes.
Obtain and become familiar with maps, appropriate for the activity, and features that will assist with navigation at the location.

Navigate a route in extremely difficult tracked and untracked environments.

  1. Orientate map to surroundings using landmarks and compass and identify factors that affect accuracy.
  2. Follow the planned route using map, natural features and compass to assist.
  3. Use global positioning systems (GPS) and altimeters as navigation aids to maintain route.
  4. Use techniques to estimate distance travelled in the absence of identifying features.
  5. Utilise a combination of navigation techniques to bypass large obstacles.
  6. Identify unfamiliar features and hazards in difficult environmental conditions using map and compass to maintain route.
  7. Utilise a combination of navigation techniques to identify unfamiliar features and fix position when lost.
  8. Make required adjustments to route according to prevailing conditions, and navigate using map, natural features, compass, GPS and altimeter as required.
  9. Obtain and become familiar with maps, appropriate for the activity, and features that will assist with navigation at the location.
  10. Interpret map symbols and information to plan an efficient route according to specific activity requirements.
