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!

ICTBWN307 - Use optical measuring instruments

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

Prepare to use optical measuring instruments

  1. Obtain approval for site access with customer or site owner prior to site entry
  2. Identify purpose of test and type of optical measurement required
  3. Select appropriate tools and instruments according to required measurement
  4. Check test instruments to ensure calibration is within acceptable time frames
  5. Identify safety hazards, assess risks and implement risk control measures in consultation with appropriate personnel

Instructions to Assessors

Required Skills and Knowledge
Range Statement

Specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. It is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Type of optical measurement must include:

detecting the presence of an active optical network terminal (ONT)

determining absolute optical power (in dBm)

determining insertion loss (in dB)

determining relative optical power level (in dB)

Instruments must include:

hand-held optical power meter

hand-held optical source

handheld optical fibre identifier (OFI-FTTx)

active optical network termination (ONT) detector

optical loss test set (OLTS)

passive optical network (PON) meter
