Learning aim A
For Distinction standard,
learners will produce a comprehensive, well-balanced
evaluation of how IT infrastructure could be used to meet the needs of an identified
organisation and its stakeholders. They will make realistic and well-explained
business-related observations on the benefits and disadvantages of the different
elements of their infrastructure plan. They will consider the impact on a wide range
of the company’s stakeholders and the company as a whole.
Learners must articulate their arguments through high-quality written communication,
supported by accurate and fluent technical vocabulary. They should use well-structured
and considered responses that clearly demonstrate chains of reasoning, leading to
concise evaluations and reasoned, valid judgements.
For Merit standard,
learners will present a reasoned and well-explained analysis of a
range of different ways in which an organisation can use IT infrastructure to meet
identified needs.
The analysis will explore the impact the identified methods will have on the organisation
and its stakeholders.
The analysis will be balanced and supported by clear examples.
The evidence must be technically accurate and demonstrate good-quality written or
oral communication.

For Pass standard,
learners will provide a detailed plan of how IT infrastructure could
be implemented by an organisation to meet most of its identified needs. The report
should cover use of software, hardware and data connections and networks. It will
provide some evidence of decision making such as explaining why a particular
technology meets an identified need. Learners are unlikely to compare these identified
technologies to alternatives.
The evidence may have some inaccuracies and include a limited range of examples.
