Understand the role of technology in the business context.
Demonstrate an understanding of problem solving techniques, and how to apply them in a systems development environment
Demonstrate an understanding of Systems Development, with all its implications
Relate business problems and information technology solutions
Apply the principles of creating computer software

Furthermore, the assessment process should also cover the following generic components:
Measure the quality of the observed practical performance as well as the theory and underpinning knowledge behind it;
Use methods that are varied to allow the learner to display thinking and decision making in the demonstration of practical performance;
Maintain a balance between practical performance and theoretical assessment methods to ensure each is measured in accordance with the level of the qualification; and ensure that the relationship between practical and theoretical is not fixed but varies according to the outcomes being assessed.
