Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design digital applications, which may consist of one or many technologies integrated in various combinations.It applies to individuals who work with clients to design specifications for digital applications, which are then built by other specialised team members. Digital applications may be operated in a web or mobile device environment.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
