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:

develop an algorithmic statement of a solution for a set process

produce a functional script to automate a set process

document this script both internally and externally.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

applications capable of being scripted or having own scripting language

templates for automating processes

executable scripts for set repeat time slices, single runs or break-out loops

debugging 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:

verbal or written questioning to assess knowledge of application or process that scripting will control

evaluation of algorithm design and scripting concepts to a variety of manual operations

review of scripting:

results on appropriate device

documentation.

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 interact with user via script

literacy skills to create technical and user level documentation

technical skills to:

create scripts to automate application system tasks

execute scripts for set repeat time slices, single runs or break-out loops

manipulate and automate data

use inbuilt scripting options for a variety of scenarios.

Required knowledge

detailed knowledge of:

debugging for a variety of scripting scenarios

scripting language syntax

scripting techniques.

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.

Requirements may relate to:

business

network

people in the organisation

system.

Language may include:

JavaScript

Perl

Python

shell script

VBScript.
