Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • select appropriate software and file formats
  • create mailing list and merge with another document
  • manipulate and integrate data between commercial application software following organisational procedures.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • outline current business practices related to preparing reports
  • identify features and functions of commercial computing packages
  • identify import and export software functions
  • outline processes for linking documents
  • outline workplace health and safety (WHS) principles and responsibilities for ergonomics
  • identify software packages used by the organisation
  • outline strategies for integrating commercial computing packages
  • outline the use of input and output devices.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the general information and communications technology (ICT) industry, and include access to:

  • a personal computer (PC) and printer
  • software currently used in industry
  • documents detailing organisational style guide and policy
  • documents or information containing data suitable for use with multiple computing packages.
