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!

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

Evidence of the ability to:

develop an algorithmic statement of a solution for a set process

design, document, construct and test a small single-purpose OS utility application in response to a problem description

create scripted programs that access information stored in files on the system and use system utility programs to sort or find information within these files

validate and record script results.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

technical requirements

software development environment

software testing environment

appropriate learning and assessment support when required.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.

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:

verbal or written questioning of required skills and knowledge, such as: algorithm design, structured control constructs, basic scripting development methodologies and their application

evaluation of algorithm design

evaluation of a small single-purpose OS utility application

evaluation of completed test plan and documentation.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.

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

Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.

produce user and peer documentation

problem-solving and contingency-management skills to:

technical skills to:

create scripts to automate operating system tasks

execute scripts

interact with user via script

manipulate and extract information contained in files

use inbuilt scripting options for a variety of scenarios.

Required knowledge

overview knowledge:

algorithm design

operating system components, such as command line interface, log files, program scheduling utilities, development methodologies, tools and utilities and testing methods

debugging for a variety of scripting scenarios

programming structured control constructs: sequence, selection, iteration

scripting techniques and language syntax.
