This qualification prepares an individual for entry to the industry into the mainstream of telecommunications convergence technologies of radio, optical, data and IP networks.
The new ICT30515 Cert III in Telecommunications Technology has superceded the former Cert III ICT30213, which as of July last year was to be discontinued by all Registered training organisations for those who weren’t already signed up for the course.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to install underground enclosures and conduit for new or cable maintenance tasks in access networks or customer premises.
This unit applies to indoor and outdoor installation within customer premises. It may be applied to domestic, commercial or industrial installations.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to install underground cable for all communications applications in Access Networks or customer premises.
Communications applications include digital and analog, telephony, data, video, digital broadcasting, computer networks, local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to safely install, maintain and modify customer premises communications cabling required according to the ACMA ‘Open’ Cabling Provider Rule.
This rule is associated with small installations connected to sockets and larger commercial and industrial installations involving many lines, multi-pair cables, backbone cabling, multi-story buildings and more complicated termination modules and distributors.
Restricted cabling is used in typical domestic premises, small offices, home offices and small business premises. Restricted cablers can install cable in large commercial and industrial premises provided the cabling is behind a compliant device and is not via jumperable distributors or patch panels.
The Telecommunications Cabling Provider Rules (CPRs) 2000 place various limitations on Restricted cablers. These include a prohibition on them performing cabling work where they may have access to a reticulated electrical supply that exceeds typical domestic single-phase and three-phase electrical supply voltages – nominally 240 volts AC (for single phase) or 415 volts AC (for three-phase).
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to test optical communication systems and components in the field using portable test instruments.
It covers testing of point-to-point networks as well as next generation optical fibre networks which use passive optical network (PON) technologies in fibre to the home (FTTH) deployment.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to splice and terminate optical fibre cable within an optical telecommunications transmission environment.
This work is essential in provisioning of National Broadband Network (NBN) infrastructure for high speed and high bandwidth transmissions.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to place, secure and terminate structured cabling and to certify installation.
Communications applications include digital and analog, telephony, data, video, digital broadcasting, computer networks, local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia.
Technical staff who place, secure and terminate optical fibre cable apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. Types of termination include direct termination, fusion splicing and mechanical splicing.They may be required to do new installations or upgrades, or maintain existing networks in domestic, commercial and industrial installations. Communications applications include digital and analog, telephony, data, video, digital broadcasting, computer networks, local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to install and terminate coaxial cable on customer premises in communications applications, digital and analog, including telephony, data and video, including digital broadcasting, computer networks, including local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to test the performance of equipment on customer premises for the purpose of commissioning, fault identification or routine maintenance. It includes ensuring a safe and secure work environment while work is being undertaken.
