Unit Summary
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to compile and evaluate business specifications from a client, and
produce a set of architecture design solutions to cater for present and future forecast demands.
It applies to individuals working in the field who ca
y out design and implementation of technical solutions of
information communications technology (ICT) networks, employed by telecommunications and information technology
networking provisioning companies specialising in integrating converging and emerging technologies of ICT networks.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Prerequisite Units

ASSESSMENT 1 – STUDENT INFORMATION
This information is to be handed to each student to outline the assessment requirements.
This assessment will be undertaken in a role-play environment.
You have been contacted by a client (your assessor), who is a start-up business looking to set up a network in multiple
locations. You are to a
ange an appointment with your client and identify their requirements.
Students are to ask appropriate questions and utilise open-ended questioning techniques to identify the business
equirements relating to the network setup and administrative requirements. You must lead the conversation, as your
client may only answer the questions you ask.
Remember, you are the networking professional, not the client
Once you know what your client wants to achieve, you are to research ICT Networking options for them, and develop:
o A robust ICT Networking Architecture report
o A detailed logical network diagram
o A proposal that
▪ details the networks impact on the business performance
▪ evaluates and comments on predicted performance
▪ considers growth capacities
▪ outlines costs (including supplier products)
▪ outlines support and training requirements
▪ relates to cu
ent technical specifications and prices
You are to present your proposal to your client, explain how it will work, and gain sign-off. Your client will ask you
questions, so you need to understand your proposal. Their questions may be technical, and you need to be able to
answer them.
Assessment Summary
You are to submit your written proposal as outlined above
