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.
