The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence that they can safely and efficiently manage installation and commissioning of equipment according to organisational requirements

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Comply with applicable Commonwealth, State or Territory legislative and regulatory requirements and codes of practice, including OHS, environmental and organisational policies and procedures, relevant to managing installation and commissioning of equipment
Comply with applicable licensing or certification requirements
Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area
Efficiently manage installation and commissioning of equipment within the enterprise

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace
materials and equipment relevant to managing installation and commissioning of equipment
specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the FPI05 Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies
Assessment methods must confirm the ability to access and correctly interpret and apply the essential underpinning knowledge
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate
Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality, gender or language backgrounds other than English
Where the participant has a disability, reasonable adjustment may be applied during assessment
Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role

The seven key competencies represent generic skills considered necessary for effective participation by an individual in the workplacePerformance Level 1 at this level, the candidate is required to undertake tasks effectivelyPerformance Level 2 at this level, the candidate is required to manage tasksPerformance Level 3 at this level, the candidate is required to use concepts for evaluating and reshaping tasks

Collecting analysing and organising information
By collecting, organising and analysing information required to manage the installation and commissioning of equipment (3)

Planning and organising activities
By organising work activities to ensure installation and commissioning of equipment occurs within designated timeframes (3)

Working with others and in teams
By using effective communication and interpersonal techniques with colleagues and others to maximise confidence, satisfaction and productivity during installation and commissioning processes (2)
