Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 2.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of ability to:

  • identify service requirements of a range of contemporary products
  • design and build a multiple service customer system solution
  • install and integrate at least two services to a customer system comprised of at least three equipment components applying all related work health and safety (WHS) requirements and work practices
  • activate and optimise customer equipment using two or more signal sources
  • configure services and optimise customer system across multiple services
  • conduct functionality tests and interpret results
  • provide customer training appropriate to the equipment.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
