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!

ICTTEN5037A - Design a telecommunications project

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

Scope design options

Determine the nature, purpose and type of the new facilities in the proposed project from project specifications obtained from planners
Analyse project brief to scope the requirements of the project and consider design options with consideration to legislation governing carriers in Australia
Evaluate design requirements to determine optimal site selection for the project to house facilities
Arrange for an environmental impact study (EIS) to be conducted on the selected site with project requirements to assess the suitability of the site

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.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the ability to: scope design options recommend acquisition of land prepare justification report including evaluation of EIS findings produce design options prepare completed building design plan for a telecommunications project.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure: sites on which projects may be designed CAD drawing facilities 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 design tasks review of drawings, plans and specifications prepared by the candidate oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the design process review of a completed building design plan for a telecommunications project prepared by the candidate.
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: ICTNPL4110A Evaluate the planning requirements for provisioning a telecommunications building facility ICTNPL4111A Develop provisioning of telecommunications building works project ICTNPL4150A Apply knowledge of regulation and legislation for the telecommunications industry. 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.

research skills to interrogate databases and investigate different building services

technical skills to:

evaluate design requirements

evaluate findings of EIS

scope requirements

use computer assisted design (CAD) software

Required knowledge
