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!

ICTNWK304 - Administer network peripherals

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

Install peripherals to a network

  1. Plan the location of peripherals to provide appropriate services to users and to take work health and safety (WHS) standards into consideration
  2. Connect peripherals to network, using vendor approved method and technology
  3. Connect peripherals to computers in the network using parallel, serial or other direct connection methods
  4. Add peripheral accessories or upgrades to printer, such as memory or high-volume paper trays
  5. Test peripherals for correct operation
