Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to determine customer needs, create appropriate workplace documentation, connect and organise an internetwork according to design specifications, resolving technical problems as they arise.It applies to individuals who design and install internet protocol (IP) networks including enterprise internetwork technicians, network administrators and network support personnel for large, medium and small office home office (SOHO) enterprises.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 networks engineering field of work and include access to:

a site where design and installation of an internetwork network may be conducted

tools, equipment and materials currently used in industry

relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

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