Licensing/Regulatory Information
The completion of unit ICTWHS2170B and the six unit set ICTCBL2005B, ICTCBL2006B, ICTCBL2008B, ICTCBL2012B, ICTCBL2017B and ICTCMP2022B that meets the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) requirements for Cabling Provider Rules (CPR) open registration, is generally used as a part of a more specialised customer cabling qualification. This set is regarded as more suitable for new entrants where limited or no industry experience has been obtained and forms the major part of specialised qualifications in this qualification.
All training programs must be undertaken with reference to the regulatory regime of the prevailing statutory authority (currently ACMA).
National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work
Some cabling and installation work may fall within the definition of construction work.
