Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install underground enclosures and conduit, either direct buried or in pits, for new or cable maintenance tasks in access networks for outdoor installations within client premises or in public locations permitted by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).It applies to technical staff who install underground infrastructure for new and upgraded telecommunications cabling for domestic, commercial or industrial clients. Work functions in the occupational areas where this unit may be used are subject to regulatory requirements. Refer to the Implementation Guide Companion Volume or the relevant regulator for specific guidance on 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 installation of underground enclosures and conduit may be conducted

installation pits, enclosures and conduit currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on cable installation activities.

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