Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to manage the delivery of network infrastructure, including scoping the project, developing a project brief, managing the project and directing the activities of installation staff, building workers, contractors, manufacturers and vendors.It applies to individuals who work in appropriate project management roles associated with access and core networks, including switching and transmission via optical fibre, radio, microwave and satellite.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 – project management field of work and include access to:

sites on which projects may be conducted

relevant databases, legislative requirements and other project related documentation.

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