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:

configure, test and validate network protocols in order to facilitate interconnectivity

install and manage network protocols in a network, and troubleshoot when problems arise.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

a live network

application software and operating system

appropriate learning and assessment support when required

modified equipment for people with special needs

networked computers

organisational guidelines

technical documentation and installation manuals

vendor software.

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 communications technologies and network protocols

direction observation of candidate configuring network or application protocols

review of candidate’s analysis of client user requirements and final recommendations

evaluation of performance test results conducted by candidate.

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 evaluate client user requirements and map to appropriate protocols

learning skills to ensure currency with protocols development

literacy skills to interpret technical manuals

organisational skills to plan, prioritise and organise work

problem-solving skills to develop and refine configuration protocols

technical skills to:

configure workstations

develop strategic initiatives when designing a network addressing system

test components using available technology

write detailed technical notes.

Required knowledge

client business domain, including client organisation structure and business functionality

current communications technologies and their associated protocols

current industry-accepted hardware and software products and general features and capabilities

network protocols currently in use in organisation and industry

vendor product range and development directions.

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.
