Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to carry out installation, maintenance and upgrade of information and communication technology (ICT) networks.It applies to individuals employed by telecommunications and ICT networking provisioning companies specialising in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. These individuals might work on upgrades to existing systems or be involved in implementation of new logistical or security networks using RFID technology according to design specifications.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 suitable telecommunications site

client’s functional requirements

RFID equipment specifications

database software

simulation software

organisational guidelines

network or computer layout documentation and premises plans.

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