Unit of Competency ICTCBL312 - Cutover new systems and equipment on customer premises
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to cutover new or upgraded systems and equipment on a customer premises. This may include indoor or outdoor installations of communications applications in telephony, broadband, data, video, radio frequency (RF) equipment, security and computer networks, including local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia systems. It applies to telecommunications trade workers carrying out new or upgrades of domestic, commercial or industrial systems and equipment at a customer's premises.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:

a site where installation of customer premises equipment may be conducted

plant, tools and equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on work activities.

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