Test, report and rectify faults in data and voice installations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to test, report and rectify faults in data and voice installations.

It includes working safely, conducting performance testing, applying fault-finding procedures, testing functionality of the network, conducting repairs and completing documentation.

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.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (WHS/OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures

carrying out work without waste of materials or damage to equipment, circuits, surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy principles

completing documentation

dealing with unplanned situations

identifying defects/faults from test results

interpreting test results

obtaining and checking tools, equipment and testing devices for correct operation and safety

preparing and conducting tests of faults

preparing test reports

rectifying faults

undertaking quality checks in accordance with workplace procedures

verifying installation performance.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

causes of non-compliant test results

networking fundamentals

optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) operating principles, applications and calibration procedures

performance of copper cable measuring devices and techniques

performance of optical fibre measuring devices and techniques

performance parameters associated with copper cables, coaxial cables and optical cables

recording, reporting and maintaining test results

relevant industry standards

relevant manufacturer specifications and operating instructions

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant tools, equipment and testing devices

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace quality, policies and procedures

problem-solving techniques

test results for compliance with required regulation, standards and/or codes for structured copper cables, coaxial and optical fibre cables

testing and validation of a customer premises cabling installation.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to testing, reporting and rectifying faults in voice and data installations

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

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.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Testing, reporting and rectifying faults in voice and data installations must include at least the following:

two different items of customer premises equipment

a local area network (LAN)

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.
