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!

ICTCBL323 - Test cables and systems on customer premises

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

Prepare for cable and system test

  1. Establish purpose of test to be conducted on cables and systems based on customer complaints of faulty or poor system performance operations
  2. Confirm ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) requirements and methods for compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, codes and standards
  3. Selectrequired tests according to site conditions, customer complaint documentation and manufacturer specifications
  4. Arrange access to site and confirm service is available for testing
  5. Select test equipment, tools and materials according to required industry testing standards

Perform tests

  1. Use tools and test equipment according to manufacturer specifications and undertake tests required after initial analysis of customer complaints
  2. Perform work safely to remove risk of injury to operator, other users and equipment
  3. Perform checks and adjustments to ensure operating environmental factors will not prejudice test results
  4. Perform optical time domain reflectometer testing to determine fibre and event characteristics according to meet customer or enterprise specifications and manufacturer warranties
  5. Perform structured cabling certification testing to determine cable system characteristics according to customer or enterprise specifications and manufacturers warranties
  6. Evaluate PoE circuits, cable lengths, copper conductor sizes, resistance versus power losses, environmental temperatures and likely power levels to ensure circuit current, voltage and power to the receiving device

Interpret test results and determine action

  1. Read test results accurately and compare with manufacturer and site specifications for cable performance
  2. Evaluate test results, taking into account measurement error margins against a known reference as required
  3. Assess test results fairly and accurately using verifiable data
  4. Rectify faults or escalate to appropriate person
