Performance Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate the ability to perform the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria, and foundation skills, and to:

discuss faults with customers and co-workers

test telecommunications networks to identify faults

identify and rectify recurrent faults

conduct and report on a fault-finding task in a telecommunications network for a range of faults

use systematic and logical fault-finding techniques in telecommunications networks and field-testing procedures according to specific workplace situations

comply with all work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements and work practices.

Note: Evidence must be provided at least once when a specific volume or frequency is not stated.

Knowledge Evidence

The candidate must demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria, and foundation skills, which includes knowledge about:

relevant legislation, regulations, codes, standards, enterprise guidelines, formal agreements and contracts that impact on the work activity in particular:

WHS requirements and environmental procedures relating to the activity and site conditions

Ohm’s law, impedance and reactance formulas to solve alternating current (AC) electrical problems when diagnosing faults

behaviour of faulty network elements including symptoms and impact on network

test results and network element/system specifications

operation and purpose of testing equipment

summary of telecommunications networks

performance testing and fault-finding techniques of telecommunications networks

systematic and logical fault-finding

types of power sources used in telecommunications networks

managing faults on special services (such as police stations, hospitals, customers with heart monitors).

Assessment Conditions

Skills must be assessed in a workplace or simulated environment where conditions are typical of those in a telecommunications work environment or workplace.

Access is required to:

site/s on which network testing and fault-finding can be conducted

line transmission, optical and radio measurement equipment currently used in industry

system documentation, and other site-related documentation necessary to conduct tests and fault-finding investigations.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
