Unit of Competency ICTICT303 - Connect internal hardware components
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to acquire, install, configure and evaluate system hardware components according to client and user requirements.It applies to individuals who work with a degree of self-sufficiency and provide support in a range of information and communications technology (ICT) work areas and activities.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 and internal hardware components for installation

current industry standard performance testing software

documents detailing organisational guidelines and requirements

technical manuals and tools.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
