Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to build a simple and secure wired local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) using a range of client server applications and services.It applies to individuals who may work in job roles such as an installer of internet protocol (IP) networks, a WAN and LAN network technician or a WAN and LAN network support person.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 telecommunications network engineering field of work and include access to:

a site where building and maintenance of secure network may be conducted

tools, equipment and materials currently used in industry

relevant workplace procedures

product and manufacturing specifications and reference material.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
