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!

TLIX5042A - Organise road transport operations

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

Prepare for transport operations

  1. Operational requirement is analysed in order to establish the scope of transport support
  2. Operational or organisational constraints are recognised and transport tasks are planned to align with these constraints
  3. The considerations of planning vehicle movement and tasking are applied to derive the most efficient employment of transport assets and personnel
  4. Logistic information systems are utilised to monitor and coordinate transport support operations and to inform the decision making process
  5. Transport requests are received and analysed and a transport plan is developed
  6. Occupational health and safety (OH&S) requirements and recognised safety precautions are applied throughout the operation in accordance with standard procedures

Provide transport operations

  1. The delivery of transport support is managed to meet the demands of the operation
  2. Personnel are supervised and efficiently and effectively employed
  3. Fatigue management strategies are applied to ensure vehicles are operated by rested and alert drivers
  4. The preparation, movement and use of vehicles is monitored to ensure road transport is conducted with appropriate authority and effectively employed in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
  5. The maintenance integrity of transport assets is monitored to ensure assets are available for support tasks
  6. Liaison with agencies involved in the operation is carried out to ensure the most effective coordination of effort
  7. Management and stakeholders are advised when significant issues or developments arise that may adversely impact on the operation
  8. Records are maintained and entered into information systems

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include:

the management of at least two different road transport operations such as replenishment operations and passenger transport

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be demonstrated on at least one occasion covering the scope of the unit of competence

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

Method of assessment

Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests

Practical assessment must occur:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
