Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential

Assessment must confirm the ability to configure an FTP client prepare content to be transferred connect to the server and transfer content

To demonstrate competency in this unit the learner will require access to

Web servers

Ebusiness website

FTP client software

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This competency requires the application of file transfer protocol FTP client software as a means of uploading or changing content on a website FTP is the most common method for transferring data across the internet Most web browsers connect to FTP sites transparently and download data without the user being aware that they are on an FTP server

The breadth depth and complexity of knowledge and skills in this competency would cover a broad range of varied activities or application in a wider variety of contexts most of which are complex and nonroutine Leadership and guidance would be involved when organising activities of self and others as well as contributing to technical solutions of a nonroutine or contingency nature

Assessment must ensure

Performance of a broad range of skilled applications including the requirement to evaluate and analyse current practices develop new criteria and procedures for performing current practices and provision of some leadership and guidance to others in the application and planning of the skills would be characteristic

Applications may involve responsibility for and limited organisation of others

Method of assessment

The purpose of this unit is to define the standard of performance to be achieved in the workplace In undertaking training and assessment activities related to this unit consideration should be given to the implementation of appropriate diversity and accessibility practices in order to accommodate people who may have special needs Additional guidance on these and related matters is provided in ICA Section

The purpose of this unit is to define the standard of performance to be achieved in the workplace.
