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!

ICTPRG511 - Monitor and support data conversion to new ICT system

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

Monitor data conversion

  1. Obtain the conversion supporting documentation, and apply it to the conversion process
  2. Protect production data, by taking action to ensure backup before the conversion
  3. Determine the requirements of the client, and the impact on the business operation
  4. Identify and confirm the software, hardware or environmental prerequisites in the conversion plan
  5. Validate data accuracy and integrity, according to conversion specifications
  6. Identify data rejected by conversion tools, and carry out the actions detailed in the conversion plan
  7. Document the data rejection or errant behaviour of the conversion process
Obtain the conversion supporting documentation, and apply it to the conversion process
