routine areas |
| Problem solving skills in known areas during normal routine |
| Reading and writing at a level where basic workplace documents
are understood |
| Communication is clear and precise |

| |
| The Range of Variables statement contextualises the unit of
competence and provide a focus for assessment. The information provided
is intended to define the scope of assessment and to assist assessors define
the performance to be achieved by an individual in the workplace. |
| Variables may include but are not limited to personal computers
and networked systems |
| Variables may include but are not limited to: established
files and new documents |
| May include presentation applications contained in: Microsoft
Office, Lotus Suite, Claris Works or other similar applications |
Cultural understanding requires the capacity to apply an understanding
of cultures when carrying out workplace tasks, including commitment to organisational
goals such as quality, safety, efficiency, teamwork, security, environmental
protection, customer service and personal development, and interacting with
people from widely different backgrounds and cultures in the achievement
of common work goals.
· Carries out established processes
· Operates in accordance with existing company and statutory requirements
· Makes judgements of quality using given criteria
|
| Speed will vary according to different organisational requirements
and different job roles within an organisation. The keyboard technique will
be in line with OH&S requirements for safe use of keyboards |
| Variables may include but are not limited to: keyboarding
and accuracy as per organisation guidelines |
| Command line and Graphical User Interface |
| May include but are not limited to: diskettes, CDs, Zip disks |
| As per company, statutory and vendor requirements. Ergonomic
and environmental factors must be considered during the demonstration of
this competency; Occupational Health and Safety guidelines related to use
of screen based equipment, computing equipment and peripherals, and ergonomic
work stations; security procedures; customisation requirements |
| May involve a business involved in a total organisational
change, a systems only change, a business improvement process, an e-commerce
solution involving the total organisation or part of the organisation |
| Documentation for version control may follow ISO standards.
Audit trails, naming standards, version control, project management templates
and report writing styles will vary according to organisational approach,
information gathering processes may have associated templates |
| Will vary from formal procedures that must be adhered to with
check points and sign off's with documented procedures and templates, implementation
of financial control mechanisms, communication with stakeholders, dispute
resolution and modification procedures, processes for determining size and
cost |
| |
|
| Assessment must confirm the ability to create,
format and prepare presentations for distribution and display |
| The interdependence of units of competency for
assessment will vary with the particular project or scenario. This unit
has importance to a range of IT services and could therefore be assessed
in a holistic manner with include ICAITU129A Operate a word processing application,
ICAITU130A Operate a spreadsheet application, ICAITU131A Operate a database
application, ICAITU128A Operate a personal computer, ICAITU133A Send and
retrieve information over the Internet using browsers and e-mail. |
Competency can be demonstrated in a simulated
environment. Peers and supervisors for obtaining information on the extent
and quality of the contribution made.
Candidate will need access to a printer.
To demonstrate this unit of competence the candidate will require access
to documents detailing:
· Organisational style guide/ policy
Assessment of this unit of competence could include review of documents
developed by the candidate. Questions related to the performance criteria
and directed to the candidate, peers and business client will assist in
assessing competence. Observation of skills may assist in the collection
of evidence
|
Competence in this unit may be assessed
using formative assessment to ensure consistency of performance in a range
of contexts.
Simulation must reflect workplace practices. |
Work is carried out under direct
supervision. An individual demonstrating these competencies would be able
to: demonstrate knowledge by recall in a narrow range of areas; demonstrate
basic practical skills, such as the use of relevant tools; perform a sequence
of routine tasks given clear direction; and receive and pass on messages/information.
This competency can be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated environment.

Key Competencies are competencies essential for
effective participation in the emerging patterns of work and work organisation.
They focus on the capacity to apply knowledge and skills in an integrated
way in work situations. (Mayer definition)
There are seven key competencies that have been formally identified. The
Key Competencies are generic in that they apply to work generally, rather
than being specific to work in particular occupations or industries.

they are using the appropriate terminology and using the authoring tools
in the most efficient manner
|
|
|
Students to create a simple presentation using text and symbols. The

the authoring package, to make the workflow as efficient as possible
Students should demonstrate how to customise the user interface, to enable
a more productive workflow
|
|
|
Students are to modify and add to their original
presentation, to ensure that the final presentation puts across the intended
message in an efficient and easily understood manner. Techniques that may
be used include
|
|

a web site |
|
|
Save the presentation, and maintain backup copies |
|
|
|
Students are to enhance the presentation by using any of the techniques
listed her. Students should be aware that it is very important to maximise
the impact of the presentation, without distracting from the intended
message
