Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AHCTEQ301A - Install and terminate extra low voltage wiring systems

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Plan and prepare for installation of extra low voltage wiring

  1. Installation is planned and prepared to ensure OHS policies and procedures are followed, and the work is appropriately sequenced according to requirements.
  2. Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others on the work site.
  3. Cables and wires are sized to suit calculated load.
  4. Wiring system components are checked against job requirements.
  5. Accessories are obtained according to established procedures and to comply with organisational and task requirements.
  6. Location in which specific items of accessories, apparatus and circuits are to be installed is determined from job requirements.
  7. Materials necessary to complete the work are obtained according to established procedures and checked against the job requirement.
  8. Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out the installation work are obtained, following established procedures they are checked for correct operation and safety.
  9. Preparatory work is checked to ensure that it complies with requirements and no unnecessary damage has occurred.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

plan, design and carry out installation of wiring enclosures, cable support systems, cables and accessories in electrical systems of 36 volts or less

undertake checks that the system conforms to requirements and operates effectively

read labels and signage to differentiate between extra low voltage and other electrical systems

size cables and wires to suit calculated load

check and notify completed installation activities

follow enterprise OHS procedures and safely work with extra low voltage systems.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.
