SPECIALIZED SUBJECT DESCRIPTION
ICT–Computer Systems Servicing NC II is a technical-vocational qualification designed to equip learners with the
competencies to assemble, install, configure, maintain, troubleshoot and repair computer systems and peripherals,
as well as set up and administer small local area networks. It blends hands-on hardware skills, software
configuration, and basic networking with an emphasis on industry-standard tools, safety procedures, and
customer-oriented support.
LEARNING STANDARDS
Learners will develop a deep understanding of computer systems servicing by
mastering the theoretical principles and practical applications of hardware
components, operating systems, and networking fundamentals. They will explore
the roles and interactions of the motherboard, CPU, memory, storage, and power
supply; learn file systems, partitioning, user account management, and driver
installation; and grasp fundamental networking concepts such as IP addressing,
subnetting, and peer-to-peer topology. This integrated knowledge base ensures
that students can not only explain how each component functions individually but
also demonstrate how they work together to form a reliable, secure computing
environment.
Content Standard
Identify major computer system components (motherboard, CPU, RAM, storage
devices, power supply).
Disassemble and reassemble a desktop computer according to manufacturer’s
procedures.
Conduct preventive maintenance: cleaning, dust removal, lubricating moving parts.
Building on this conceptual foundation, learners will apply these principles through
hands-on activities that mirror real-world industry practices. They will safely
disassemble and reassemble desktop PCs, perform preventive maintenance,
install and configure operating systems, troubleshoot hardware faults using
diagnostic tools, and set up small local area networks. Throughout these tasks,
students will follow electrostatic discharge precautions, document procedures and
service logs, and reflect on their performance, thereby reinforcing both technical
competence and professional work habits aligned with national competency
standards.
ICT-CSS SHS Course Syllabus
By the end of the first semester of CSS NC II, learners will have mastered core
computer servicing principles—safely disassembling, reassembling, and
maintaining PC hardware; installing, configuring, and troubleshooting operating
systems and device drivers; diagnosing and repairing common hardware faults;
and setting up peer-to-peer networks—while consistently applying
industry-standard safety and documentation practices. Their progress is measured
by clear performance benchmarks (e.g., timely assembly/reassembly, error-free
Performance
OS installations, successful fault repairs, fully functional LAN setups) and validated
Standard
through competency-based assessments such as direct observation, oral
questioning, and accurate service logs, ensuring they emerge job-ready, reflective
of their strengths, and equipped with action plans for continued skill development.

PERFORMANCE TASK
Introduction
You are now at the stage where you can apply your knowledge and skills in real-world situations. As a
computer technician, you will demonstrate your competency in assembling, maintaining, and configuring a
desktop computer system based on a client’s request. This includes proper safety procedures, OS installation,
troubleshooting, and networking setup.
Performance Scenario
GOAL: To assemble, configure, and troubleshoot a computer system; install an operating system; and set up a
simple local area network—all while applying proper safety procedures and documenting the process
professionally.
ROLE: A freelance computer technician and IT support service provider.
AUDIENCE: A client (the internet café owner), your trainer/teacher, and a potential employer.
SITUATION: You are required to:
