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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

identify resource requirements from plans, equipment and system manuals, specifications and relevant enterprise policy

plan and provision to meet key dates and milestones for:

appropriately skilled labour

volume and type of material

monitor work progress, coordinate and adjust resource requirements to meet both customer's needs and cost parameters.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

telecommunications operations site suitable for scheduling projects

equipment currently used in industry

relevant enterprise and site related documentation

relevant regulatory, supplier and equipment documentation that impact on scheduling activities.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

review of activities involving the scheduling of resources for a telecommunications project completed by the candidate

review of an oral and written report with completed documentation

direct observation of the candidate scheduling resources for a telecommunications project

oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICTWOR3028A Organise resources

ICTWOR3035A Organise material supply

ICTWOR3093A Manage spare parts

ICTWOR3127A Supervise worksite activities.

Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
