Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to assess a site for a telecommunications project, including gathering information about the site and the project, surveying the site and evaluating the suitability of the site for the work. It applies to individuals who work as technical staff with a range of telecommunications skills, involves a degree of autonomy and may include limited supervision of others.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.
