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:
plan and prepare for work activities
coordinate and undertake work activities applying all related OHS requirements and work practices
complete all document and reports for work activities
demonstrate alignment with job request and consideration of customer needs.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessments must ensure:
sites on which work may be conducted
use of equipment including equipment currently used in industry
relevant regulatory, organisational procedures and equipment documentation that impact on work.
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 range of work activities completed by the candidate
review of an oral and written report with completed documentation
direct observation of the candidate planning, organising and undertaking work activities.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTPMG2130A Prepare site for support installation.
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.
