What constitutes evidence of 'Competency' in Week 1?

• A. Attending all sessions.
• B. A passing score on a multiple-choice quiz.
• C. Documented performance demonstrating required skills and safety compliance against criteria.
• D. Providing a verbal report at the end.

Answer: (C)

Evidence of competency means you can perform the required tasks to the defined standard, including following safety procedures, and this must be shown and recorded against clear criteria. This is why documented performance against predefined criteria is the best evidence: it demonstrates actual ability to execute the skills, not just knowledge or attendance. Simply attending sessions shows participation, but doesn’t prove you can apply what you learned. A passing quiz shows understanding, but not hands-on capability or safety compliance in real tasks. A verbal report might convey information, but it doesn’t establish that you performed the tasks to standard. By capturing observed performance against criteria in a written record, you confirm that you can do the job correctly and safely, which is what competency hinges on.
