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:

estimate requirements and document specifications and cable plan for alteration

alter, restore and test cable system according to industry standards

rectify faults

comply with all related OHS requirements and work practices.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessments must ensure:

sites on which alterations to existing cable system may be conducted

use of testing equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on alteration activities.

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:

review of a hands-on project completed by the candidate

review of an oral and written report with completed documentation, such as TCA1 form

direct observation of the candidate altering services to an existing cable system.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICTCBL2005B Install customer cable support systems

ICTCBL2006B Place and secure customer cable

ICTCBL2008B Terminate metallic conductor customer cable

ICTCBL2012B Install functional and protective telecommunications earthing system

ICTCMP2022B Organise and monitor cabling to ensure compliance with regulatory and industry standards.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to liaise with internal and external personnel on technical and operational matters

literacy skills to interpret technical documentation, such as equipment manuals, specifications and service orders

numeracy skills to take and analyse measurements

problem-solving skills to solve equipment and logistics problems

task-management skills to work systematically with required attention to detail and adherence to all safety requirements

technical skills to:

perform fault clearance

use diagnostic equipment

use hand and power tools

Required knowledge
