#1305 NTDS - Additional NTDS4 Skills change request accepted

NTDS starts at level 5, which is too high for the many staff members who are employed by my client who conduct network design activities at an element level. The suggested NTDS4 skill combines elments of system design 4 (DESN4) and NTDS5. We did an assessment of 100 staff and 70% selected NTDS4 skill as defined below.

Designs specific network components using agreed architectures, design standards, patterns and methodology. Contributes to alternative network architectures, networking topologies and design options. Creates multiple design views to address the concerns of the different stakeholders of the network and to handle both functional and non-functional requirements. Reviews, verifies and improves own network designs against specifications using supplied user/system interfaces, including validation and error correction procedures, processing rules, access, security and audit controls. Contributes to the identification of associated risks and the development of recovery routines and contingency procedures.
