Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide


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.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of: accessing security equipment and systems and methodically carrying out commissioning and decommissioning procedures with minimal disruption to client services, existing structures or normal work routines clearly identifying commissioning and decommissioning requirements of security equipment and systems from assignment instructions and organising appropriate tools, equipment and materials to carry out work following safe and efficient work practices in the use of tools and equipment and accurately identifying and managing risks and hazards in the work area handing over security equipment and system to client ensuring a full and complete understanding of systems and network operations and functions through the provision of clear and effective instructions, information and training reinstating work area to a clean and safe condition, and preparing and submitting all required documentation in an accurate and prompt manner.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Context of assessment includes: a setting in the workplace or environment that simulates the conditions of performance described in the elements, performance criteria and range statement. Resource implications for assessment include: access to plain English version of relevant statutes and procedures access to a registered provider of assessment services access to a suitable venue and equipment assessment instruments including personal planner and assessment record book work schedules, organisational policies and duty statements. Reasonable adjustments must be made to assessment processes where required for people with disabilities. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.
Method of assessment	This unit of competency could be assessed using the following methods of assessment: observation of processes and procedures questioning of underpinning knowledge and skills.
Guidance information for assessment	Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and suitable to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the competency being assessed. In all cases where practical assessment is used, it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge. Oral questioning or written assessment may be used to assess underpinning knowledge. In assessment situations where the candidate is offered a choice between oral questioning and written assessment, questions are to be identical. Supplementary evidence may be obtained from relevant authenticated correspondence from existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.
