Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to satisfy the regulatory environment in the planning, design and installation of telecommunications equipment and infrastructure.It applies to individuals with the organisational, economic and regulation skills to enable them to plan and design the access network infrastructure of private and/or carrier service providers. These individuals may be responsible for small projects or parts of larger projects and for the operation and engineering of the enterprise and telecommunications network in general.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
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 – Network Planning field of work and include access to:

relevant legislation

planning processes and telecommunications industry Regulatory Accounting Framework (RAF)

planning tools

enterprise-specific investment management system (IMS)

relevant databases

licensing requirements

relevant procedures.

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