Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to prepare design drawings and specification for a telecommunications installation.It applies to technical staff who are responsible for communicating installation requirements for installations, for access, building and core network installations within the Carrier Network for either 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:

special purpose tools, equipment and materials

sites where network installation may be conducted

equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulations and company policies

cabling specifications that impact network installation activities.

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