ASSESSOR NOTE
These instructions must be followed when assessing the student in this unit. The checklist on the following page is to be completed for each student. Please refer to separate mapping document for specific details relating to alignment of this task to the unit requirements.
This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context.
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements.
Resource implications for assessment include:
an induction procedure and requirement
realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements
relevant specifications and work instructions
tools and equipment appropriate to applying safe work practices
support materials appropriate to activity
workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies
material safety data sheets
research resources, including industry related systems information.
Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.
What happens if your result is Not Yet Competent for one or more assessment tasks?
The assessment process is designed to answer the question has the participant satisfactorily demonstrated competence yet? If the answer is Not yet, then we work with you to see how we can get there.
In the case that one or more of your assessments has been marked NYC, your Trainer will provide you with the necessary feedback and guidance, in order for you to resubmit/redo your assessment task(s).
What if you disagree on the assessment outcome?
You can appeal against a decision made in regards to an assessment of your competency. An appeal should only be made if you have been assessed as Not Yet Competent against specific competency standards and you feel you have sufficient grounds to believe that you are entitled to be assessed as competent.
You must be able to adequately demonstrate that you have the skills and experience to be able to meet the requirements of the unit you are appealing against the assessment of.
You can request a form to make an appeal and submit it to your Trainer, the Course Coordinator, or an Administration Officer. The RTO will examine the appeal and you will be advised of the outcome within 14 days. Any additional information you wish to provide may be attached to the form.
What if I believe I am already competent before training?
If you believe you already have the knowledge and skills to be able to demonstrate competence in this unit, speak with your Trainer, as you may be able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Credit Transfer
Credit transfer is recognition for study you have already completed. To receive Credit Transfer, you must be enrolled in the relevant program. Credit Transfer can be granted if you provide the RTO with certified copies of your qualifications, a Statement of Attainment or a Statement of Results along with Credit Transfer Application Form. (For further information please visit Credit Transfer Policy)
This assessment task requires you to conduct optimisation and administration activities for a network system, including:
preparing methodologies for system maintenance
producing cost-benefit analyses and training for database optimisation and administration
reviewing development of training instructions
conducting system measurements
developing support processes for system users
managing user accounts and security procedures
investigating potential system administration problems and make recommendations.
Throughout the process, you are required to optimize both the network platform and at least one database application running on the network. All network problems, including:
authorisations
backups
CPU usage time
data retrieval
flaky sectors on hard drive
lockups
logons
security breaches.
must be resolved.
Optimising the system will require undertaking network administration including:
administer users
awareness of database security
awareness of net and shared services
control database
create database
install database software
manage database interfaces
manage schema objects and data
manipulate storage structures
monitor and resolve lock conflicts
perform database backup
perform database recovery
performance monitoring
proactive maintenance.
Develop a full report that outlines:
Methodologies applied implementation, logical design, scoping, technical optimisation.
Identified network problems.
Optimisation activities undertaken.
Cost Benefit Analysis.
You will also be required to deliver one training session for network users to outline at least one database optimization technique.
