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.

Overview of assessment

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

Evidence of the ability to:

lead the implementation of new and emerging industry-specific technologies

undertake analysis and critically evaluate features and functions of identified industry-specific technologies to an in-depth industry standard.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

site where industry-specific technologies may be used

industry-specific technologies currently used in industry

documents detailing OHS standards, environmental guidelines and organisational requirements.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified 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:

verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of features and functions of industry-specific technologies

direct observation of candidate leading the implementation of industry-specific technologies

simulation of uses of the industry-specific technologies.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to communicate at a high level with peers and supervisors, such as technical personnel for expert advice

high-level research skills to locate appropriate sources of information regarding industry-specific technology

literacy skills to:

interpret technical documentation, equipment manuals and specifications

write detailed reports

safety awareness skills to work systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment

technical skills to:

analyse, test and evaluate the industry-specific technologies

identify features of the industry-specific technologies

lead the application of industry-specific technologies.

Required knowledge

high-level knowledge of:

vendor product directions

current technology trends, directions in IT and the major industry technology standards used in the specified area

information-gathering techniques

in-depth knowledge of current industry hardware and software products, including their general features, capabilities and application.

Range Statement

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.

Industry sector may include:

business services or information worker

information and communication technology

telecommunication.

Industry-specific technologies may include:

vendor specific:

hardware

integrated services

internet access

mobile communication devices

networks

peripherals

software.

Sources of information may include:

appliances software and technical connections guidance and other outputs supplied by vendors and manufacturers

documents

test pages

vendor and manufacturer guidance regarding requisite depth of knowledge of industry-specific technologies

web pages.

Environmental considerations may include:

correct disposal by an authorised body of redundant hardware:

circuit boards

hard drives

motherboards

recycling

safe disposal of packaging:

cardboard

paper

plastic

polystyrene.
