ASSESSMENT TASKS
ICTPMG611 Prepare a detailed
design brief
,Assessment Summary
Read all the instructions below before attempting the assessment task. Assessment tasks are tools used to
determine if you have the knowledge and skills to complete tasks to industry standards within the workplace. Your
trainer/assessor will help you throughout this task and it is your responsibility to provide enough evidence to justify
a competent decision by the trainer/assessor. If you do not understand the questions or what is required, ask your
trainer/assessor for assistance. For group assessments, all students are to contribute to the assessment tasks. You
are allowed to work in groups up to a maximum of four people. You are to complete all tasks by the due date and
assessments must have a coversheet attached. If you think you do not have enough time to complete the tasks by
the due date, discuss with the trainer/assessor the reasons of why you cannot submit on time.
Writing your responses
When answering questions, ensure that your answers are detailed enough to so the assessor can draw a conclusion
that you have the knowledge and/or skills to demonstrate competency. Handwritten answers must be written in
blue or black pen. When producing reports, ensure that your project has a title page, table of contents, page
numbers, reference list, ensuring that your answers thoroughly match the questions asked. Answer all questions in
your own words to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work or ideas and saying that it your own
work. Sources of work must be properly referenced, outlining the source of your ideas. Penalties may include having
to resubmit the assessment task again, repeating the Unit of competency, or for repeat plagiarism, expulsion from
Abbey Business College.
Marking of Assessments
On submission of your assessment will be marked for a result of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS).
If you receive a NYS result, you will be asked to redo the tasks again. To achieve a competent result with this unit,
all tasks need to be completed and marked as satisfactory. Your trainer/assessor will provide feedback to you on
each task, outlining where you must improve to achieve a Satisfactory (S) result. When all tasks are marked as
Satisfactory (S), you will receive a result of Competent (C) for this unit otherwise, you will be marked Not Yet
Competent (NYC). Assessments submitted to the trainer/assessor after the due date may not be accepted, and you
may have to a resubmission fee.
Unit of competency application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare a detailed design brief to realise a building and
equipment provisioning project, including costing, vendor and technology choices, scheduling and resourcing.
It applies to individuals with a high level of specialist technical skills and knowledge in optical telecommunications
and IT networks using internet protocol (IP) systems for a new installation or upgrade of capacity or technology for
an existing network or subsystem for convergence to next generation networks (NGN).
