Description
This qualification reflects the role of an operator in the telecommunications industry who can apply a broad range of competencies using a defined range of skills where some discretion and judgement is required in the selection, installation and configuration of equipment in convergence technologies that integrate radio, optical and internet protocol (IP) based applications.
This role includes assessing installation requirements, planning and performing installations, testing installed equipment and fault finding. It involves a degree of autonomy and may include some supervision of others involving known routines and procedures and some accountability for the quality of outcomes.
This qualification prepares an individual for entry to the industry into the mainstream of telecommunications convergence technologies of radio, optical, data and IP networks.
An operator uses skills to install and maintain radio antennas on domestic and commercial buildings for fixed wireless broadband services and install and maintain Network Terminal Devices in domestic and commercial premises connected to the radio antennas.
Job roles
Job roles and titles vary across different sectors of the industry. Possible job titles relevant to this qualification include:
- telecommunications fixed wireless network equipment installer
- telecommunications voice and data equipment installer
- telecommunications tradesperson.
Pathways Information
Pathways into the qualification
Preferred pathways for candidates considering this qualification include:
- after achieving a Certificate II 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 ICT30813 Certificate III in Telecommunications Fixed Wireless Installation, 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 units ICTWHS2170B, ICTWHS2170A or ICTOHS2170A and ICTCBL136B meets the ACMA requirements for Cabling Provider Rules (CPR) restricted registration.
For cablers with restricted CPR qualifications there will be a requirement for the specialised unit ICTCMP2239B Perform restricted customer premises broadband cabling work: ACMA Restricted Rule, to be achieved when working on specialised broadband cabling.
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. If so, people entering the construction site are 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 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.
