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:
create and follow implementation plans for IPTV
install relevant network hardware and software
configure and test the IPTV network according to specified guidelines
integrate IPTV to existing network
produce appropriate documentation
implement secure network.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
a site where the installation and configuration of an IPTV network may be conducted
equipment currently used in industry
information on different protocols
relevant technical information, legislative requirements and other site and project related 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:
direct observation of the candidate installing and configuring IPTV in a home network ensuring network security
review of implementation plans outlining integration elements to optimise system performance
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:
ICTDRE4166A Integrate customer digital reception equipment
ICTDRE4167A Integrate data delivery modes
ICTTEN4215A Install and configure internet protocol TV in a service provider network.
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.
