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!

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

Plan to implement server virtualisation

  1. Assess extent of virtualisation to be implemented using feasibility report and organisational guidelines
  2. Analyse existing server infrastructure use
  3. Research and analyse alternative virtualisation scenarios, including risk analysis and relative comparisons of each consideration
  4. Provide brief report to appropriate person of proposed preferred plan and describe resources required
  5. Liaise with appropriate person to obtain approval for plans with any recommendations
