Unit of Competency ICTTEN427 - Conduct site surveys to identify carrier installation requirements
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to implement design processes, develop solutions, and merge technological development and product implementation in access, building and core networks.It applies to individuals working as technical staff on projects within a carrier network for carrier, commercial or industrial installations. 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 network planning area, systems and deployment rules and standards

relevant databases, licensing requirements and other site related procedures

a location and scenario suitable to conduct a site survey.

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