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:

identify current new and emerging virtualisation technology

identify and use features and functions of industry-specific virtualisation technologies.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

site where industry-specific technologies may be used

industry-specific technologies currently used in industry

documents detailing work health and safety (WHS) standards, environmental guidelines and enterprise requirements

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment 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 to assess candidate’s knowledge of features and functions of industry-specific virtualisation technologies

direct observation of candidate using industry-specific technologies

simulation of industry-specific uses of the industry specific technologies.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

research skills to locate appropriate sources of information regarding virtualisation technology

communication skills to:

communicate with peers and supervisors

seek assistance and expert advice

seek feedback from users

literacy skills to interpret technical documentation, equipment manuals and specifications

safety awareness skills to work systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment

technical skills to:

identify features of virtualisation technology

test and evaluate virtualisation technology

use virtualisation technology

Required knowledge

current technology trends and directions in information and communications technology (ICT), specifically in the major industry technology standards used in virtualisation technology

vendor product directions relating to virtualisation technology

current industry hardware and software products and their general features, capabilities and application

information-gathering techniques

environmental and sustainability policies of own workplace
