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!

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: evaluate facilities used for housing network equipment and how they may be used for provisioning provide documentation that correctly associates responsibilities to planning, provisioning, maintenance and operation of a building facility evaluate planning requirements for telecommunications building facilities including: correct provisioning of equipment for air conditioning systems and power supplies into building facilities energy use, alarm and fire safety services.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure: building facilities where planning requirements for provisioning may be conducted relevant regulatory, organisational procedures and documentation, and equipment documentation that impact on work.
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: direct observation of the candidate undertaking an evaluation of a telecommunications building facility review of evaluation report prepared by the candidate outlining the planning requirements for the proposed provisioning of identified services oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of key building facilities, such as power supplies, fire safety, alarm and air conditioning systems.
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: ICTNPL4111A Develop provisioning of telecommunications building works project. Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues. Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required. Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
