Unit of Competency ICTCMP2022B - Organise and monitor cabling to ensure compliance with regulatory and industry standards
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to organise and monitor teams undertaking cabling work on all cable types, and to ensure compliance with regulatory and industry standards.Assessment by a TITAB registered assessor is recommended.The six unit competency set ICTCBL2005B , ICTCBL2006B , ICTCBL2008B , ICTCBL2012B , ICTCBL2017B and ICTCMP2022B , that meets the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s (ACMA) requirements for Cabling Provider Registration (CPR), is generally used as part of a more specialised customer cabling qualification. This set is usually regarded as more suitable for new entrants where limited industry experience has been obtained and forms the major part of specialised qualifications, such as ICT20313 Certificate II in Telecommunications Cabling. When these six units are selected as a set within state and territory funding approved programs, the two benchmark CPR units (ICTCBL2136B and ICTCBL2137B ) are not required.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 ACMA accredited registrar.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application Technical staff apply the skills and knowledge in this unit for supervising teams within a customer premises and ensuring compliance with ACMA and industry standards. They may make use of formal documentation, such as accurate completion of a telecommunications cabling advice (TCA) form (TCA1 form), test routines and databases.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Not applicable.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

organise, schedule and communicate work

monitor work activity and reallocate as required to meet specifications, OHS and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

sites where monitoring may be conducted

use of tools, materials and equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impact on work activities.

Methods of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

review of a project supervised by the candidate

review of an oral and written report with completed documentation, such as TCA1 form

direct observation of the candidate organising and monitoring a cabling project.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICTCBL2005B Install customer cable support systems

ICTCBL2006B Place and secure customer cable

ICTCBL2008B Terminate metallic conductor customer cable

ICTCBL2012B Install functional and protective telecommunications earthing system

ICTCBL2017B Alter services to existing cable system.

Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
