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!

ICTCBL203 - Terminate metallic conductor customer cable

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare cable termination

  1. Arrange access according to customer and individual worksite requirements
  2. Prepare for cable terminating work within regulatory environment, cabling environment, cable type, cable identification, termination systems, earthing and protection, records and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards
  3. Select correct termination for installation according to strategies to manage infrastructure and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards
  4. Notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards at cabling worksite
  5. Identify remote power feeding services that operate at above telecommunications network voltage (TNV) inside customer premises, and risks posed by contact with remote power feed
  6. Remove all contaminants from worksite that may adversely affect termination and prepare worksite to ensure adequate visibility to minimise errors and reduce eye strain
  7. Design cable and block location within frame with capacity for expansion where possible
  8. Segregate incoming and outgoing cables for ease of access and to minimise overlaying and backtracking of cable
Arrange access according to customer and individual worksite requirements
