The situation

What has happened

Bellarine Dental Group's new consulting rooms at Ocean Grove, job J-26-1166, have an intruder alarm with twelve detectors, access control on four doors and structured data cabling that has already been tested and passed. The access control readers arrive on Friday and commissioning is scheduled for the following week. The practice manager has supplied a schedule of staff, their access groups and the hours the doors must be unlocked, and wants the alarm to arm automatically after the last staff member leaves. Patient records are stored on site so the customer is sensitive about who can enter after hours. The customer also wants a handover session for the reception team.

Your brief. Plan and carry out the programming and commissioning of the alarm and access control system to the customer's schedule, test every detector, reader and output, document the configuration on the job so the office can support it, and deliver a handover session with a written quick guide for the reception staff.

What to look for

Evidence guide

The configuration record must match the customer's schedule exactly and be complete enough for another technician to support the system. Look for every device tested and recorded, faults documented with their fix, and a quick guide written in plain language for non-technical staff. The student should show awareness of the customer's privacy concern in how access groups and audit trails are set up.

The student's evidence summary lists every record they created or changed in the systems named above, their notes and the tasks they ticked. Verify it against the deliverables and your own assessment tool.
