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!

ICTPMG4152A - Manage the delivery of network infrastructure

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

Scope network infrastructure requirements

  1. Determine the requirements of the project from client and approved network plan
  2. Assess current access network conditions to determine existing network capacity and capability
  3. Analyse site survey data and geographical information where necessary to assess suitability of site to design requirements
  4. Assess risk of barriers to plan realisation to enure delivery of network infrastructure project is achievable
  5. Analyse the impact on planning of relevant legislation and associated operational codes
  6. Produce a scoping document with consideration to new technology or technology features required in the project

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:

scope network infrastructure requirements

analyse and document considerations in project specifications

analyse impact of legislative and environmental conditions to project plan

prepare project brief outlining specifications, timeframes, costing and operating budget

manage the delivery of network infrastructure to completion.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

sites on which projects may be conducted

relevant databases, legislative requirements and other site and project related documentation.

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 delivery of network infrastructure including scoping the project, developing a project brief an managing delivery

review of project brief prepared by the candidate outlining specifications, timeframes, costing and operating budget

review of report prepared by the candidate outlining monitoring processes and contingency plan

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of network infrastructures and project planning.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICTTEN4050A Install and configure a wireless mesh network

ICTTEN4126A Install and configure internet protocol TV in a home network

ICTTEN4211A Design, install and configure an internetwork.

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.
