Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to joint metallic conductor cable. It applies to individuals who work in technical roles completing tasks on customer premises in underground situations, pits, jointing enclosures or above ground.All customer cabling work in the telecommunications, fire, security and data industries must be performed by a registered cabler. All cablers are required to register with an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) accredited registrar.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications – cabling field of work and include access to:

sites where jointing metallic conductor cable may be conducted

use of joint testing equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on cable jointing and testing activities.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
