Update ICT30519 Certificate III in Telecommunications Technology

Descriptor:

Industry consultation with the Technology and Telecommunications sector identified a workforce challenge, due to an omission in the one of the elective groups in the current version of ICT30519 Certificate III in Telecommunications Technology.

To attain the certificate III with a Telecommunications Rigging specialisation learners are required to complete three (3) elective units of competency from Group J Telecommunications Rigging. This group, however, currently only offers one unit of competency ICTTCR203 Use safe rigging practices to climb and perform rescues on telecommunications network structures; therefore, the qualification with this specialisation cannot be achieved.

Consultation also identified an error in the unit of competency ICTCBL247 - Install, maintain, and modify customer premises communications cabling. A legislative reference in the knowledge evidence lists an outdated version of the Australian Standard AS/CA S009 that needs to be updated to the current Communications Alliance – Standard from AS/CA S009 Installation Requirements for customer cabling (Wiring Rules).

Scope:

The work proposed includes two updates to the following Training Products included in the ICT Training Package:

ICT30519 - Certificate III Telecommunications Technology

• Group J Telecommunications Rigging specialisation

ICTCBL247 - Install, maintain, and modify customer premises communications cabling

• Knowledge Evidence list to include current legislative reference.

Prioritisation:

Fast Track

To ensure training standards are aligned with current telecommunications industry requirements whilst also ensuring that the qualification is fit for purpose.
