Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install a telecommunications service to a building to provide a new service or a service upgrade. It applies to individuals who work in technical roles that require bringing a telecommunications service from the broader network to a client’s premises using metallic or optical cable or wireless connection.Work functions in the occupational areas where this unit may be used are subject to regulatory requirements. Refer to the ICT Implementation Guide Companion Volume or the relevant regulator for details of licensing, legislative or certification requirements.
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 telecommunications services may be installed

installation and testing equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on installation activities.

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