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:
determine and meet client requirements for thin client applications
install and configure the components according to vendor and technical specifications.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
site on which remote power feeding applications can be implemented
relevant documentation, feasibility studies and equipment manuals.
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:
direct observation of the candidate carrying out installation and configuring
review of plans completed by the candidate for different sites outlining resources required
oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge and methodologies used.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTSUS5187A Implement server virtualisation for a sustainable ICT system
ICTSUS4183A Install and test renewable energy system for ICT networks
ICTSUS4184A Install and test power saving hardware
ICTSUS4185A Install and test power management software.
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.
