List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Provide client access and security | 1.1 Provide logons, passwords and applications file access to users, and prepare the documentation in line with organisational requirements 1.2 Examine the records of user accounts, to determine access privileges and usage 1.3 Take the necessary action to ensure the maintenance of system integrity and security |
2. Provide the input into and disseminate the disaster recovery plan | 2.1 Provide input into the organisation's disaster recovery plan 2.2 Disseminate the disaster recovery plan to users, as required |
3. Monitor the network performance | 3.1 Perform the diagnostic tests associated with administering the network or system 3.2 Analyse and respond to diagnostic information 3.3 Monitor software usage, including any inappropriate or illegal use 3.4 Delete any illegal software from the system 3.5 Monitor the hardware response time, and other performance indicators 3.6 Determine and action, methods for improving the network and systems efficiency, according to the organisational guidelines |
Evidence of the ability to:
sustain the operation of the network through the maintenance of network integrity, and by performing diagnostic tests
contribute to the formulation of a disaster recovery plan, and provide the client with an optimised network that complies with the organisational guidelines
implement network and systems efficiency, according to organisational guidelines
provide the appropriate access to the network for users
maintain, limit or enhance user access, according to authorised requests.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
outline the network’s operating system
outline the different approaches to backing-up, and restoring, computer data
describe the key elements contained in a disaster recovery policy
describe the features of network file and folder permissions
outline the vendor service-level agreement
summarise operating systems supported by the organisation, their functions and basic features
outline the organisation’s access and security procedures
identify and describe the organisational and technical systems
describe the organisational procedures for protection against, and elimination, of computer viruses
describe the policies and procedures for deleting, restoring and archiving files
describe the procedures for creating logons
outline the security, and network, guidelines and procedures
state the responsibilities for software copyright.
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:
a live network
systems administration tools currently used in the industry
the organisational policy and procedures
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
