Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • collate the information on the organisation’s need for cloud technology
  • identify the key differences, and the performance, in cloud technology models
  • determine the most appropriate cloud computing solution for the business
  • provide feedback on the most appropriate cloud computing solution and service.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • identify the current technology trends, and directions, in information and communications technology (ICT)
  • identify the major industry technology standards used in cloud computing solutions and services
  • recognise the vendor product directions in cloud computing solutions and services
  • describe the current industry hardware and software products, and their general features, capabilities and application
  • describe the principles of cloud computing solutions and technologies.

Assessment Conditions

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 network industry, and include access to:

  • information on the cloud computing solution technologies currently used in the industry
  • the business requirements
  • documents detailing work health and safety (WHS) standards, environmental guidelines, and enterprise requirements.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
