Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to administer and manage blockchain applications for a distributed ledger. It involves the identification of blockchain applications suitable to specified business needs, and the implementation and deployment of the application at various stages throughout the business model.

It applies to those who perform a range of administrative and project management tasks and assess and implement new technologies to business models in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and related industries.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
