Licensing Information
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification considerations
The four unit set ICTCBL2005A , ICTCBL2006A , ICTCBL2008A and ICTCMP2022A that meets the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) requirements for Cabling Provider Rules (CPR) restricted registration, is generally used as a part of a more specialised customer cabling qualification. This set is regarded as more suitable for new entrants where limited or no industry experience has been obtained and forms the major part of specialised qualifications such as ICT20310 Certificate II in Telecommunications Cabling.
All training programs must be conducted with reference to the regulatory regime of the prevailing statutory authority (currently ACMA).
