Certificate III
Certificate III in Telecommunications Network Build and Operation - ICT30419
This qualification is for telecommunications operators working on the construction and maintenance of high-speed national broadband network (NBN) infrastructure, and on required technology. Telecommunications technology operators may: perform equipment and system installation work on a customer network to enable efficient access and interconnection to the NBN services, including connecting and jointing of copper cable, diagnosing and rectifying copper cable system faults, and migrating, remediating and augmentation of copper services to maximise benefits of the high-speed broadband connection. splice, test and fault-find on live fibre cable in the NBN fibre distribution network. perform equipment and system installation work on a customer network to enable efficient access and interconnection to the NBN services, including diagnosing and rectifying fibre system faults, working with active equipment, and performing integration and commissioning activities to maximise benefits of the high-speed broadband connection. perform underground and aerial equipment and system installations from the tap to the optical node to enable efficient access and interconnection to the NBN services, including connecting and terminating hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) cabling, diagnosing and rectifying HFC system faults. install, activate and assure HFC equipment and systems from the last connection point of the network to the customer premises - tap to network termination device (NTD) - to enable efficient access and interconnection to the NBN services.
