Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install supporting infrastructure for telecommunications equipment and associated hardware, including access equipment and associated media, power and monitoring equipment, and alarm systems.It applies to field officers, installation technicians or technical supervisors of contractors or other service providers for switching, transmission, radio networks and the various transmission paths, including cable, 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 should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:

a site where installation of supporting infrastructure may be conducted, or a simulated environment

plant, tools and equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impact work activities.

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