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 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 following is essential: Assessment must confirm the ability to implement procedures that identify where risk occurs and what measures need to be taken to handle the risk. Contingency planning is an integral part of demonstrating competency. Effective implementation procedures include preventative considerations, such as establishing warning systems and establishing an ongoing process that includes regular or programmed reviews to the risk profile. Risk management must include managing those factors that may have an adverse effect on an external party, such as an business website customer or supplier. Consequently, risk management may need to be a collaborative process that involves users and commercial partners. To demonstrate competency in this unit the person will require access to: Web servers Business website Site server Site server software Analysis software Requirements documentation Risk management plan User analysis Updated or new technology Software applications Networks |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The breadth, depth and complexity covering planning and initiation of alternative approaches to skills or knowledge applications across a broad range of technical and/or management requirements, evaluation and coordination would be characteristic. Assessment must ensure: The demonstration of competency may also require self-directed application of knowledge and skills, with substantial depth in some areas where judgement is required in planning and selecting appropriate equipment, services and techniques for self and others. Applications involve participation in development of strategic initiatives as well as personal responsibility and autonomy in performing complex technical operations or organising others. It may include participation in teams including teams concerned with planning and evaluation functions. Group or team coordination may also be involved. |
Method of assessment | The purpose of this unit is to define the standard of performance to be achieved in the workplace. In undertaking training and assessment activities related to this unit, consideration should be given to the implementation of appropriate diversity and accessibility practices in order to accommodate people who may have special needs. Additional guidance on these and related matters is provided in ICA05 Section 1. Competency in this unit should be assessed using summative assessment to ensure consistency of performance in a range of contexts. This unit can be assessed either in the workplace or in a simulated environment. However, simulated activities must closely reflect the workplace to enable full demonstration of competency. Assessment will usually include observation of real or simulated work processes and procedures and/or performance in a project context as well as questioning on underpinning knowledge and skills. The questioning of team members, supervisors, subordinates, peers and clients where appropriate may provide valuable input to the assessment process. The interdependence of units for assessment purposes may vary with the particular project or scenario. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example: ICAA5156B Review and plan to minimise risk to business solutions An individual demonstrating this competency would be able to: Demonstrate understanding of a broad knowledge base incorporating theoretical concepts, with substantial depth in some areas Analyse and plan approaches to technical problems or management requirements Transfer and apply theoretical concepts and/or technical or creative skills to a range of situations Evaluate information, using it to forecast for planning or research purposes Take responsibility for own outputs in relation to broad quantity and quality parameters Take some responsibility for the achievement of group outcomes Maintain knowledge of industry products and services Additionally, an individual demonstrating this competency would be able to: Demonstrate knowledge of risk management processes, incorporating some theoretical concepts Apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems Identify and apply skill and knowledge areas to a wide variety of contexts, with depth in some areas Identify and evaluate information Take responsibility for the quality of risk assessment and contingency planning |

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.
Required skills |

Required knowledge |
Technology updating guidelines Business process design Maintaining and administering a site Understanding how business sites fit into corporate strategy Policy writing and dissemination Documenting technical specifications Understanding the business supply chain Understanding user analysis and the CRM Copyright and intellectual property Relevant privacy legislation Australian Computer Society Code of Ethics |
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. | |
Business requirements may be in reference to: | business system network people in the organisation |
System may include but is not limited to: | databases applications servers operating systems gateways application service provider ISP |
Contingency plans will vary in format and content detail, but will typically: | Identify weaknesses and provide for the implementation of a disaster prevention program Minimise disruption to business operations provide a coordinated approach to the disaster recovery process |
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.
