Release 1

This qualification first released with ICT10 Integrated Telecommunications Training Package Version 2.0.

Description

This qualification has been designed as a pathway for specialised work on the National Broadband Network (NBN).

This qualification provides students with skills and knowledge to enhance employment prospects in apprenticeships and traineeships in a range of specialised NBN industry occupations specifically for the national rollout of the high speed broadband infrastructure.

In conjunction with safe working practices, one of two specialist streams is to be undertaken as described:

Telecommunications linesworker/Installer 

This stream reflects the role of operators in performing equipment and system installation work on customer network to enable efficient access and interconnection to the NBN services. This includes diagnosing and rectifying complex cable system faults to maximise benefits of the high speed broadband connection.

Telecommunications Fibre Splicer 

This stream reflects the role of operators in applying optical fibre handling skills to splicing, testing and fault finding on live fibre cable in the fibre distribution network for NBN.

Job roles 

Job roles and titles are dependent on the stream completed, possible job titles relevant to a pathway for this qualification include:

  • Telecommunications installer
  • Broadband network linesworker
  • Broadband network fibre splicer
  • Telecommunications customer network cable installer.

Pathways Information

Pathways into the qualification 

Preferred pathways for candidates considering this qualification include:

  • after achieving the ICT20613 Certificate II in National Broadband Network Installation or equivalent qualification from this or another endorsed Training Package or endorsed course

or

  • with substantial vocational experience but without a formal qualification.

Pathways from the qualification 

After achieving the ICT30713 Certificate III in National Broadband Network Construction, candidates seeking to develop more specialised technical skills and knowledge, may select from a range of Certificate IV qualifications in the ICT10 Integrated Telecommunications Training Package.

Licensing/Regulatory Information

The completion of unit ICTWHS2170B, ICTWHS2170A or ICTOHS2170A and the unit set of ICTCBL2136B and ICTCBL2137B meets the ACMA requirements for Cabling Provider Rules (CPR) open registration.

All training programs are undertaken with reference to the regulatory regime of the prevailing statutory authority (currently ACMA).

National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work 

Much of the NBN installation work falls within the definition of construction work in the context of infrastructure provisioning. If so, anyone entering the construction site is required to complete the general induction training program specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction Training for Construction Work (Australian Safety Compensation Council, May 2007).

Achievement of the unit CPCCOHS1001A Work safely in the construction industry from the CPC08 Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package as part of the core group of this qualification fulfils this requirement.

Note: ICTOHS2153A Work safely near power infrastructure should be included in the qualification packaging where there is a likelihood of working near power infrastructure. If state or territory law requires a licence to operate an elevated work platform (EWP), TLILIC2005A Licence to operate a boom-type elevating work platform (boom length 11 metres or more) should be completed concurrently with ICTOHS2153A.

Volume of Learning 

The volume of learning of a Certificate III is typically 1-2 years.

Up to 4 years may be required to achieve the learning outcomes through a program of indentured training/employment.

Entry Requirements

There are no entry requirements for this qualification.
