Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to

evaluate facilities used for housing network equipment and how they may be used for provisioning

provide documentation that correctly associates responsibilities to planning provisioning maintenance and operation of a building facility

evaluate planning requirements for telecommunications building facilities including

correct provisioning of equipment for air conditioning systems and power supplies into building facilities

energy use alarm and fire safety services

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

building facilities where planning requirements for provisioning may be conducted

relevant regulatory organisational procedures and documentation and equipment documentation that impact on work

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

direct observation of the candidate undertaking an evaluation of a telecommunications building facility

review of evaluation report prepared by the candidate outlining the planning requirements for the proposed provisioning of identified services

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of key building facilities such as power supplies fire safety alarm and air conditioning systems

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example

ICTNPLA Develop provisioning of telecommunications building works project

ICTNPL4111A Develop provisioning of telecommunications building works project.

Aboriginal people and other people from a nonEnglish speaking background may have second language issues

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oral communication skill level and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency
