Qualification Description
This is an entry-level qualification for telecommunications linesworkers working on the construction and maintenance of high-speed national broadband network (NBN) infrastructure.
Linesworkers may:
- perform cable and infrastructure work underground, which may involve civil and construction work such as site preparation, building of enclosures, installing mounting brackets and hauling underground cables
- work above ground to install fibre or metallic aerial cable and infrastructure, which may also include installing aerial lead-in cables to customer premises and providing traffic management.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
Work functions in the occupational areas where this qualification may be used may be subject to regulatory requirements. Refer to the ICT Information and Communications Technology Companion Volume Implementation Guide or the relevant regulator for details of licensing, legislative or certification requirements.
Cabling on the customer side of the network termination device must be carried out according to requirements of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and relevant industry registration bodies, and in line with the specifications of the access network owner.
Entry Requirements
Nil.
Packaging Rules
Total number of units = 12
5 core units, plus
7 elective units
The elective units selected may consist of:
- up to 7 units from Group A Cabling
- up to 4 units from Group B Telecommunications
- up to 3 units from Group C General
- up to 2 units from this Training Package or any currently endorsed Training Package or accredited course where the units are packaged in an Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) level 2 or 3 qualification.
Elective units must be relevant to the work environment and the qualification, maintain the integrity of the AQF alignment and contribute to a valid, industry-supported vocational outcome. This could be achieved by selecting a specialisation (see below) or by selecting an appropriate mix of electives from Groups A, B and C.
