ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Gather information on existing and proposed installation | 1.1 Confirm equipment installation requirements from the design brief and client 1.2 Inspect site to confirm plans where possible 1.3 Review existing plans, drawings and databases against the design brief |
2. Determine installation options | 2.1 Assess available installation options against client requirements and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards 2.2 Establish and assess cost of options against client's budget 2.3 Select most suitable option based on function, cost, standards and client deployment rules |
3. Prepare suitable drawings | 3.1 Prepare clear and accurate installation drawings indicating proposed facilities and services 3.2 Provide drawings to relevant parties and file copies for later reference according to company policies |
4. Prepare project specifications | 4.1 Prepare detailed design drawings for network installation 4.2 Prepare drawings to include scheduled and non-scheduled codes to facilitate costing |
5. Verify specifications with client | 5.1 Verify prepared documentation with client 5.2 Obtain authorisation and approval from client to proceed according to company policy 5.3 Issue design to the field with authority to construct |
Evidence of ability to:
determine installation options
produce schematics and plan drawings
access and interpret database and knowledge systems for network information

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
summarise carrier network practices, procedures and systems, including databases and deployment rules relating to telecommunications designs
identify and apply legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements (including schedule of rates and contract requirements) that impact work activity
describe manufacturer's requirements for safe operation of equipment
identify and document specific work health and safety (WHS) requirements relating to the activity and site conditions
describe typical issues and challenges that occur on site
establish and describe the various components of telecommunications plans, drawings and specifications.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:
special purpose tools, equipment and materials
sites where network installation may be conducted
equipment currently used in industry
relevant regulations and company policies
cabling specifications that impact network installation activities.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
