Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and implement virtualisation technologies, with the goal of providing a more sustainable information and communications technology (ICT) environment.It applies to individuals working as senior networking staff responsible for increasing the sustainability of an organisation, by using virtualisation technologies.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 networking, and include access to:

a site or prototype where virtual machine environments may be implemented

the network’s technical requirements

industry relevant virtualisation software.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
