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

Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to

install relevant network hardware and software

configure and test the IPTV network according to specified guidelines

configure the LSR in an MPLS network

build and configure CDN architecture network

implement secure network

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

a site where the installation and configuration of an IPTV network may be conducted

equipment currently used in industry

information on different protocols

relevant technical information legislative requirements and other site and projectrelated documentation

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 installing and configuring IPTV in a service provider network ensuring network security

direct observation of the candidate building and configuring CDN architecture network

direct observation of the candidate configuring the LSR in an MPLS network

oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge

Guidance information for assessment

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