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: determine customer requirements design an internetwork that uses advanced routing and addressing techniques install an internetwork according to design specification configure network devices to meet design functionality document internetwork design, installation and configuration. |
Context of, and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: a site where design and installation of an internetwork network may be conducted use of tools, equipment and materials currently used in industry relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |
Methods 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 designing, installing and configuring an internetwork review of documents prepared by the candidate detailing design and installation oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example with: ICTTEN2207A Install and configure a home or small office network ICTTEN2208A Install and configure a small to medium business network ICTTEN4210A Implement and troubleshoot enterprise routers and switches. Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English 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. |

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 and negotiate with customers and peers to achieve design specifications literacy skills to: develop network documentation and maintain network records read and interpret enterprise procedures, manuals and specifications numeracy skills to interpret technical data planning and organisational skills to plan and prioritise own work problem solving skills to: deal with unexpected situations on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes troubleshoot common network problems according to help desk procedures safety awareness skills to: apply precautions and required action to minimise, control or eliminate hazards that may exist during work activities follow enterprise OHS procedures work systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment technical skills to: analyse the impact of applications on traffic flow in the network apply network design methodologies to design networks that provide a range of services and applications found in larger networks conduct a wireless site survey determine customer requirements and a design specification determine the impact of upgrading hardware and software on network functionality identify the technical requirements, constraints and manageability issues for a given customer network requirement install a network design use tools and equipment |
