Evidence Required

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

plan configure and support advanced routed network infrastructure

use network tools

plan and analyse redistribution solutions

produce and configure layer path control implementation plan

provide solutions to static and dynamic routing issues together with optimisation strategies

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to

site where network installation may be conducted

router hardware and software

organisational guidelines

computers

LAN and WAN systems

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment 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

direct observation of the candidate installing configuring and testing a new or updated network

evaluation of documentation outlining testing procedures test results recommendation to network changes and completion records

verbal or written questioning of required knowledge

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 nonEnglish speaking background may need additional support

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