The Australian Computer Society (ACS) recognises the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA). SFIA is adopted by organisations, governments and individuals in many countries and provides a widely used and consistent definition of ICT skills. SFIA is increasingly being used when developing job descriptions and role profiles. ACS members can use the tool MySFIA to build a skills profile.
This unit contributes to the following workplace skills as defined by SFIA 9 (the SFIA code is included):
- Technology service management (ITMG)
- Methods and tools (METL)
- Application support (ASUP)
- Problem management (PBMG)
This unit will also contribute to skills related to the major, depending on the job role.
