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!

Scope the project

  1. Prepare for work according to site-specific safety requirements and enterprise work health and safety (WHS) processes and procedures
  2. Determine the type of core network by accessing and using network information sources
  3. Produce a brief showing how core network architecture components relate to the larger network and their impact on the work
  4. Evaluate equipment type and technologies to be considered to determine availability and compatibility with existing network equipment
  5. Obtain resources and equipment needed for the work according to enterprise procedures and check for correct operation and safety
  6. Assess capacity limitation of platforms in context of the work to ensure maximum network performance
  7. Determine product capability and calculate allowable capacity of the core network to allow for network growth
