Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to gather, analyse, test and verify data from different source inputs.It applies to those who work in data analytics roles in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) environment and are responsible for identifying data from a range of source inputs, analysing and investigating abnormalities and reporting against an organisation’s requirements. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in the customer service field of work and include access to:

different types of data required for extraction and analysis

hardware and software and components required for data extraction and analysis tasks

organisational data reporting style guide and reporting processes required for data reporting

a site where activities can be carried out

data required for testing.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
