Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to ensure content for a website is in accordance with customer specifications, and is compatible with the appropriate technical and infrastructure protocols.It applies to individuals working in the web development area who are required to populate websites according to clear benchmarks.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 website technologies field of work and, include access to:

documents detailing organisational style guide or policies

a personal computer, on which software installation may be performed

compression and streaming software

an internet connection

a live network

network components, hardware and software

networked computers

a server, and workstation hardware and software

style guides, and the design brief

technical documentation and installation manuals

software currently used in industry

vendor hardware and software components.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
