Additional Evidence of Underpinning Knowledge & Understanding

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
I have received the following questions to provide the additional evidence of underpinning knowledge & understanding.
1. Describe the situation in which you were allocated responsibility for technical/ engineering decisions

2. Describe how you presented technical information e.g. plans and diagrams for review by other engineers in your field

3. Explain how you carried out a technical investigation, including the gathering of data, identification of sources; and  explain the results of the investigation and how you ensured the quality of data that was used

4. Describe how you derived and presented the results of your investigations: for instance, describe how you used calculations, simulations, prototypes and/or engineering software to guide your technical/ engineering decisions. Explain the limitations of the techniques you used

5. Give a brief reasoned justification for your technical/ engineering decisions

6. Summarise the outcome of the project(s) and indicate how technological changes would affect your methods and/or decisions


Now my confusion is...

a.  I am working as Central Workshop Manager in a construction company, I'm in a dilemma to prepare the evidence as it is not clear to me whether asking about a particular incident related to a equipment in a construction project or the engineering involved during planning, execution, estimation, installation, maintenance and management of total equipment in a construction project. 

b. Question number 3 to 6 is very close to a incident/accident investigation for a particular equipment


If I provide the evidence in (b) way, it will be very specific but a very little scope of engineering. Whether in (a) way I can provide an comprehensive engineering evidence since equipment planning, selection, installation, maintenance and management in a construction project.


Please advise.

    The first bit of advice is probably get in touch with a PRA to discuss your application and the advice being sought. The questions are very general since the assessors will have stated that additional evidence is needed for specific sub-competences and the above questions are standard questions inserted for those sub-competences. They have no knowledge of what your best example is going to be and hence the open questions. You need to think about what they are wanting and whether your examples provide the evidence - which is why I suggest you should talk to a PRA who will be able to look at potential examples and help you decide which one to use.


    I think from your description (a) could be better than (b) if the latter has little engineering, but then why not consider both? The request is for additional evidence, not for a single additional example.
