Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design, develop, debug, test and deploy applications, for hand-held digital devices using the advanced features of these devices.It applies to individuals with information and communications technology (ICT) skills who work as mobile device application developers. They may be programmers, game developers, designers and testers, who are working in the area of mobile applications development.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 should be typical of those experienced in the programming and software development industry, and include access to:

hand-held devices and simulators

an integrated development environment (IDE)

the internet and web services

the server system, with sufficient privileges to deploy applications

specific tools and licences, depending on the particular platform.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
