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!

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:

ascertain and meet client requirements for installation of a renewable energy system hardware

plan and connect the hardware components according to vendor and technical specifications.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

site on which renewable energy solutions can be implemented

renewable energy system currently used in industry

relevant documentation, feasibility studies, equipment manuals and other site 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 carrying out installation and testing activities

review of plans completed by the candidate for different sites

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of legislation and safety procedures.

Guidance information for assessment

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

ICTSUS5187A Implement server virtualisation for a sustainable ICT system

ICTSUS4185A Install and test power management software

ICTSUS4184A Install and test power saving hardware

ICTSUS4186A Install thin client applications for Power over Ethernet.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

analytical skills to evaluate information from reports

communication skills to liaise with internal and external personnel on technical, operational and business related matters

literacy skills to:

interpret technical renewable energy systems' installation manuals

process and present written and verbal information to a diverse range of people

write reports, design solutions and recommendations in required formats

numeracy skills to assess cost benefits and renewable energy options

problem solving skills to resolve installation problems

research skills to determine requirements

safety awareness skills to:

apply precautions and required action to minimise, control or eliminate hazards that may exist during work activities

select and use required personal protective equipment conforming to industry and OHS standards

work systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment

technical skills to evaluate alternate energy systems and their compatibility with existing power sources

Required knowledge

broad knowledge of systems diagnostic features

business processes

client business domain, business function and organisation

compatibility issues and resolution procedures

configuration of internet protocol (IP) networks

current industry accepted hardware products and renewable energy system products

customer and business liaison
