Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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:

design and prepare a clear and best-fit technical design for a set project, incorporating:

changes to design model based on user requirements

detailed specification of modules

updated documentation to reflect changes.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

requirements model

business requirements

project deliverables

acceptance criteria

current information technology (IT) blueprint

appropriate learning and assessment support when required.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.

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:

verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of the principles of technical designs

review of project documentation, particularly including design model and module specifications

review of client-feedback mechanisms.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.

In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

communication skills to liaise with client when:

transferring and collecting information

presenting information and gaining consensus on concepts

literacy skills to prepare technical documentation

problem-solving skills to:

develop algorithms

participate in the development of strategic initiatives

revise the design model

technical skills to incorporate required changes to model.

Required knowledge

client business domain and client's critical business functions and processes

current various life cycle options

design fundamentals and refinement

design quality metrics.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Acceptance criteria may include:

cost implications

logistical considerations

technical

timeframe.

Appropriate person may include:

authorised business representative

client

supervisor.

Requirements may relate to:

business

network

people in the organisation

system.

Feedback mechanisms may include:

interviews

meetings

questionnaires

surveys.

Client may include:

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
