Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake intermediate level programming tasks using an object-oriented programming language.It applies to programmers in a variety of fields who are required to produce programs in object-oriented languages.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 programming and software development industry, and include access to:

the requirements document or object-oriented design structures

programming languages that support object-oriented development

the database management system (DBMS)

the appropriate learning and assessment support

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
