Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
refine the transition strategy in the light of technical information and change-management plans
confirm acceptance plan
develop a data take-up plan
confirm cutover plan.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
IT specifications
change-management plan
acceptance test plan
IT security assurance specifications
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs.
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 candidate developing required data conversion contingencies
verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of:
interpreting software specifications
cut over and test network equipment.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
