Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design a smart cable wiring system on a customer premises.It applies to individuals employed in a technical capacity for the emerging information technologies and applications in domestic and small to medium enterprises. 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 should be typical of those experienced in the Telecommunications – Digital Reception Technology industry and include access to:

a contemporary dwelling design

a specification of a customer's functional requirements

current standards, codes of practice and regulations.

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