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 ability to:

identify inherent data requirements of both old and upgraded or new systems in order to achieve a physical transfer or transformation of data

back up data before conversion process

validate converted data

document the process.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

conversion specifications

data conversion plan

documentation guidelines

sample data to be converted

data conversion tools

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 candidate’s handling of rejected data

review of candidate’s technical documentation

verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of backups.

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 non-English speaking background may need additional support.

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

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

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

communication skills to liaise with clients

literacy skills to evaluate and write technical documents

problem-solving skills to develop strategic initiatives, such as data accuracy and integrity are validated according to conversion specifications

problem-solving skills to address data rejected by converters

technical skills to operate software, hardware or environmental prerequisites listed in the conversion plan.

Required knowledge

current data modelling methodologies

current industry data conversion tools

current industry-accepted hardware and software products, including their general features and capabilities

data conversion from legacy systems.

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.

Supporting documentation may include:

conversion specifications

data conversion plan

documentation guidelines.

Requirements may relate to:

business

database

network

people in the organisation

platform

system.

Client may include:

clubs

external organisations

individuals

internal departments

internal employees.

Software may include:

networks

personal computers

remote sites

servers

workstations.

Environmental prerequisites may consist of:

air circulation

dust

client

supervisor.

Technical documentation may include:

brochures

help references

online help

project specifications

reports

training materials and self-paced tutorials

user guides.

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.
