Unit of Competency AHCINF304 - Install and terminate extra low voltage wiring systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to install wiring enclosures, cable support systems, cables and accessories in electrical systems of 36 volts or less.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, work health and safety requirements, relevant legislation and codes and manufacturer’s specifications. This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work including limited responsibility for the work of others. They use discretion and judgement in the selection and use of available resources.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit. Specific determination should be sought through the relevant State or Territory.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
