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.

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.
Voice requirements may include: | codecs data flow hardware skinny call control protocol (SCCP) session initiation protocol (SIP) software standards. |
Wireless requirements for voice may include: | cell overlap cell separations delay jitter latency QoS traffic separation. |
Security may include: | 802.11r Cisco centralised key management or proactive key caching (CCKM/PKC) extensible authentication protocol-flexible authentication via secure tunnelling (EAP-FAST) lightweight extensible authentication protocol (LEAP) protected extensible authentication protocol (PEAP) wi-fi protected access with extensible authentication protocol-transport layer security (WPA or WPA2 with EAP-TLS). |
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.
