1 STANDARD PRACTICE NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL SKILLS STANDARD (NOSS) FOR: 1. INTRODUCTION Overview IT SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE LEVEL 4 This is a new NOSS developed for IT Support and Maintenance personnel under the ICT Sector. The IT industry is recognised globally as a huge growth area and there is a need for properly trained personnel. This requires a structured career path and career guidance for individuals and organisations alike. This NOSS provides all competencies required at Level 4 for this particular job area and a career path for those involved in this industry. Occupational Outlook Information Technology (IT) support or tech support refers to a range of services by which enterprises provide assistance to users of technology products. In general, technical support services attempt to help the user solve specific problems. Most companies offer technical support for the products they sell and may be delivered over the telephone or online by , live support software on a website or a tool where users can log a call/incident. Larger organisations frequently have internal technical support available to their staff for computer related problems. With the increasing use of technology in modern times, there is a growing requirement to provide technical support. Many organisations locate their technical support departments or call centres in countries or regions with lower costs. There has also been a growth in companies specialising in providing technical support to other organisations. For businesses needing to provide technical support, outsourcing allows them to maintain a high availability of service. Such need may result from peaks in call volumes during the day, periods of high activity due to introduction of new products or maintenance service packs, or the requirement to provide customers with a high level of service at a low cost to the business. For businesses needing technical support assets, outsourcing enables their core employees to focus more on their work in order to maintain productivity. It also enables them to utilise specialised personnel whose technical knowledge base and experience may exceed the scope of the business, thus providing a higher level of technical support to their employees.the global and regional outsourcing industry has grown robustly over the past few years, with the Asia Pacific market growing by 12 percent per year between 2009 and i

2 Malaysia currently captures only 3.9 percent of the Asia (excluding Japan) market, roughly RM3.5 billion per year. This is shown in Figure 1.1 below. Figure 1.1: Asia IT Services and Outsourcing sector (Source: Chapter 12 Business Services. Economic Transformation Programme.) In capturing market share abroad, outsourcing revenue is aimed to grow from RM3.5 billion in 2009 to RM12.8 billion in 2020, contributing RM6.9 billion in additional GNI in 2020 and creating approximately 43,000 jobs. 1 IT support is also mentioned as a potential growth area that has an impact on Gross Net Income (GNI) as shown in Figure 1.2 below. Figure 1.2: IT Support as a Potential GNI Impact Area (Source: Chapter 12 Business Services. Economic Transformation Programme). It can be seen that the key elements for this sector to compete include talent and infrastructure as shown in Figure 1.2 above. Consequently, the development of this NOSS is essential to address the need to develop talent and to provide the industry with a comprehensive competency standard for skilled workers. This NOSS focuses 1 Chapter 12.Business Services.Economic Transformation Programme. Page 402 ii

3 on competencies which include network equipment maintenance, server operation maintenance, client technical support, end user training and storage maintenance. Authority Bodies Authority and Regulatory bodies identified as being related to this job area are: i. Ministry of Communications & Multimedia (MCM) ii. Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) iii. Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) iv. Cyber Security Malaysia 2. OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE The Occupational Structure as shown in Table 1.1 below shows the job titles available under the Infrastructure Support area where the entry level may start at Level 4 as an IT Executive and progress as either a System Technologist or Network Technologist at Level 5. The term Technologist means a person who belongs to a technological field that requires the application of scientific or engineering knowledge and skills 2. A technologist understands implemented systems, manages/administers them or is capable of understanding the design elements and participates in development whereas an engineer designs, develops and implements systems. Usually the terms System Senior Executive, System Engineer, Network Engineer and other similar job titles are used for the personnel competent at level 5. However, for this particular NOSS, the term technologist is used at level 5 due to certain requirements of the Board of Engineers Malaysia, although the competency acquired through this Level 5 NOSS reflects the competencies of personnel at the Server or Network Engineer level.

In doing so, candidates will have better employment prospects as there will be no mismatch of job titles to expected job competencies. This is because different organisations use different job titles. Certification will also be able to reflect the job competencies correctly and avoid confusion of job scope based on job titles. The Occupational Area Structure as shown in Table 1.2 shows that the competencies at level 4 reflect the job scope of IT Support and Maintenance, whereas at level 5 the individual will be responsible for IT Infrastructure Development. The NOSS at level 5 is developed to accommodate competencies for both System and Network Technologists. This is to reflect the personnel at level 5 that will usually specialise either in server or network areas of work. In retrospect, the Occupational Structure as defined in the ICT Occupational Analysis developed in the year 2011 had defined the areas under Infrastructure Support. In comparison to the previous OA, the current job area for IT Support and Maintenance includes all competencies related to Data Centre, Network & Telecommunication and end-user computing and is reflected in the IT Support and Maintenance NOSS and IT Infrastructure Development NOSS. Therefore, for those wishing to pursue this program, they must possess qualifications in basic networking and computing. iv

5 Below in Table 1.3 is a brief mapping of the Network and Computer Systems NOSS Level 3 Competency Units against the Competency Units of the IT Support and Maintenance NOSS program at Level 4 that show the competency units are suitable as the basic competencies required when entering the IT Support and Maintenance Level 4 NOSS program. Table 1.3: Mapping between pre-requisite competency units in Network and Computer Systems Level 3 NOSS and IT Support and Maintenance NOSS Level 4 Competency Units IT Support and Maintenance Level 4 NOSS Competency Units Competency Unit IT End IT Client IT Network Server IT Storage User Technical Equipment Operation Maintenance Training Support Maintenance Maintenance Computer System Operation SKM Level 3 Computer system Set-up Computer system Maintenance Computer system Repair Server installation Server Maintenance Computer Network Connectivity setup Mobile Device Configuration Computer Network Services SKM Level 3 Computer System Set-up Server Installation Network Cable Installation Computer Network set-up Computer Network Maintenance Mobile Device Configuration Therefore, from this mapping it can be seen that the Computer Systems Operation NOSS and Computer Network Systems NOSS at Level 3 can be considered the certifications suitable as a pre requisite to enter the IT Support and Maintenance NOSS program at Level 4. v

6 3. DEFINITION OF COMPETENCY LEVEL The NOSS is developed for various occupational areas. Candidates for certification must be trained and assessed at certain levels to substantiate competencies. Below is a guideline of each NOSS Level as defined by the Department of Skills Development, Ministry of Human Resources, Malaysia. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Competent in performing a range of varied work activities, most of which are routine and predictable. Competent in performing a significant range of varied work activities, performed in a variety of contexts. Some of the activities are non routine and required individual responsibility and autonomy. Competent in performing a broad range of varied work activities, performed in a variety of contexts, most of which are complex and non routine. There is considerable responsibility and autonomy and control or guidance of others is often required. Competent in performing a broad range of complex technical or professional work activities performed in a wide variety of contexts and with a substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy. Responsibility for the work of others and allocation of resources is often present. Competent in applying a significant range of fundamental principles and complex techniques across a wide and often unpredictable variety of contexts. Very substantial personal autonomy and often significant responsibility for the work of others and for the allocation of substantial resources features strongly, as do personal accountabilities for analysis, diagnosis, planning, execution and evaluation. vi

7 4. AWARD OF CERTIFICATION The Director General shall award to any person upon successfully completing the NOSS Program, the following skills level qualifications: a) Malaysian Skills Certificate/Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) Level 1,2 & 3 b) Malaysian Skills Diploma/Diploma Kemahiran Malaysia (DKM) Level 4 c) Malaysian Skills Advanced Diploma/Diploma Lanjutan Kemahiran Malaysia (DLKM) Level 5 d) Statement of Achievement/ Penyata Pencapaian (PC) No person shall be awarded a Certificate unless he/she satisfies the requirements set by Malaysian Skills Certification System. Candidates after being competent verified and having fulfilled Malaysian Skill Certification requirements shall be awarded with Diploma Kemahiran Malaysia at Level 4 for this particular NOSS. 5. OCCUPATIONAL COMPETENCIES The IT Support and Maintenance (Level 4) personnel must be competent in performing the following core competencies: IT End User Training IT Client Technical Support IT Network Equipment Maintenance Server Operation Maintenance IT Storage Maintenance 6. WORKING CONDITION The personnel in the IT Support and Maintenance area must be abreast with up to date technology. They may be required to perform various jobs therefore be efficient at multitasking jobs. As the personnel may represent a particular organisation when dealing with clients they must be familiar with the nature of business when communicating with clients. Good communication, problem solving and analytical skills are important in their line of work. IT Support and Maintenance personnel may be required to work in teams during projects, however, they must also be independent. They may be required to carry out on site and remote support. IT Support and Maintenance personnel in certain organisations may be required to work in 8 to 12 hour work shifts because these organisations must be available to support end users for 24 hours day. They must be able to work in a specific timeframe based on Service Level Agreements. Some personnel work on a contractual basis which leads to the labour market being more competitive. However, personnel who are highly skilled and up to date in technology are able to demand better paying positions. Personnel who possess good physical abilities and visual capabilities will be more efficient in carrying out the duties. vii

8 7. EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS The Communication Content Infrastructure (CCI) NKEA aims at driving continued high growth in communications and enabling the paradigm shift from infrastructure to applications and content. Malaysia expects to raise GNI contribution by RM36 billion in 2009 to reach RM58 billion by 2020.The incremental increase will be driven by 10 EPPs that will deliver RM16.6 billion in incremental GNI and four business opportunities that will deliver RM11.7 billion in incremental GNI. In achieving this, an additional 43,000 jobs will be created. The 10 EPPs have been developed across three themes to deliver significant results within a 10-year time frame. Among others, the sector will address the paradigm change of shifting profit pools to content and services by strengthening Malaysia s domestic value-add in advanced applications, particularly content creation and platforms, payments and electronic commerce and connectivity applications. Achieving this NKEA aspiration will require RM51 billion in funding over the next 10 years, of which only 2% is expected to come from the public sector. 3 Personnel under this job area are in demand as most organisations rely on the efficiency of IT infrastructure and network technology to improve business processes and operation. However, they may also be able to branch out into other areas based on their experience and skills under IT Support. i.
