Overview o f assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
develop a recovery plan
safely disconnect, dismantle and recover customer premises equipment
package and label recovered equipment
apply OHS requirements and work practices.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
site where recovery of customer premises equipment can be conducted
use of plant, tools and equipment currently used in industry
relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impact on work activities.
Methods 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 making site safe
direct observation of the candidate performing recovery of customer premises equipment
review of plan for dismantling and recovery prepared by the candidate
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of customer premises equipment and recovery issues.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTCBL3052A Cut over new systems and equipment on customer premises
ICTTEN3075A Refurbish customer premises equipment.

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.
