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!

Evidence of the ability to:

develop an algorithmic statement of a solution for a set process

create scripted programs that access information stored in files on the system and use system utility programs to sort or find information within these files

validate and record script results.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

summarise the principles of algorithm design

identify and describe operating system components and processes, including:

command line interface

log files

program scheduling utilities

development methodologies

tools and utilities

testing methods

explain debugging for a variety of scripting scenarios

outline programming structured control constructs: sequence, selection and iteration

summarise scripting techniques and language syntax.
