Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to

use Unix operating system to manage ICT system functions

analyse system functions based on data

produce a report on the system with recommendations for improvement

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure

a telecommunications operations site with Unix based system to manage automated functions

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

oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge

review of evaluation and configuration reports

direct observation of the candidate performing operational procedures on a Unix based system to manage telecommunications network functions

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example

ICTPMGB Undertake a telecommunications project

ICTPMG7145B Undertake a telecommunications project

ICTPMGB Manage a telecommunications project

ICTPMG8143B Manage a telecommunications project.

Aboriginal people and other people from a nonEnglish speaking background may have second language issues

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required

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

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency

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