Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install a database, manage data, data access and data security, and improve database performance.It applies to individuals responsible for the maintenance and coordination of database operations. They usually work in an organisation, providing daily services as database administrators, database developers, database coordinators, or application developers.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 programming and software development industry, and include access to:

the database-management system software

specific requirements, including client and functionality requirements

naming standard.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
