Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to haul underground cable for maintenance, new installations or upgrades in access networks or customer premises. It applies to technicians who install and recover cables, including multi-pair, coaxial and optical fibre for domestic, commercial or industrial situations.Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements apply to telecommunications systems. All customer cabling work in the telecommunications, fire, security and data industries must be performed by a registered cabler. All cablers are required to register with an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) accredited registrar.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
