Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and test (Internet of Things) IoT devices and networks.

It applies to those who utilise a moderate level of technical knowledge to carry out and evaluate the connectivity of IoT devices and networks.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


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 candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including evidence of the ability to:

research, design and test at least two IoT devices according to organisational needs.

In the course of the above, the candidate must:

communicate advantages and disadvantages of IoT devices in specified networks

produce design reports for the two devices.

The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:

functions and features of industry IoT devices and networks

types of resources available to design IoT devices

IoT design topologies

advantages and disadvantages of resources available to design IoT devices and networks

methods to determine compatibility between IoT devices and networks

characteristics of design reports for IoT devices

organisational policies and procedures to design IoT devices and networks.

Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry.

This includes access to:

tools, equipment, materials, hardware required to design and test IoT devices and networks

environmental conditions and specifications required for design IoT devices and networks.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

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.

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.
