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:
install and test WiMAX CPE outdoor unit
install indoor unit and connect to customer network
reinstate site, document and complete installation reports.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
sites on which WiMAX installations can be conducted
tools and equipment required for installation
relevant regulatory and equipment documentation..
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 a hands-on project completed by the candidate
review of an oral and written report with completed documentation
direct observation of the candidate installing and connecting WiMAX CPE equipment.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTDRE3165A Install a complex digital reception system
ICTRFN4095A Conduct radio frequency measurements.

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.
