Description
Schedule
Packaging Rules
A successful assessment outcome is the completion on 9 units, comprising of:
- 3 core units plus;
- 6 elective units in accordance with ICT02 Telecommunications Training Package Assessment Guidelines.

Substitution of Electives
When substituting elective units from other Training Packages, the units selected should be appropriate to the level and integrity of the qualification and to the workplace outcomes it is designed to meet.

A maximum of 2 units of the elective may be substituted with:
- 1 unit at Certificate III level either from ICT02 Telecommunications Training Package or from another currently endorsed Training Package
and/or
- 1 unit at Certificate II level either from ICT02 Telecommunications Training Package or from another currently endorsed Training Package
or
- 2 units at Certificate II level either from ICT02 Telecommunications Training Package or from another currently endorsed Training Package

Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification considerations
The six units set ICTTC005D, ICTTC006D, ICTTC008D, ICTTC012D, ICTTC017D and ICTTC022D that meets the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) requirements for Cabling Provider Rules (CPR) registration, is generally used as a part of a more specialised customer cabling qualification. This set is usually regarded as more suitable for new entrants where limited industry experience has been obtained and forms the major part of specialised qualifications, such as ICT20308 Certificate II in Telecommunications Cabling. When delivered as a set within state/territory funding approved programs, the two bench mark CPR units (ICTTC136C and ICTTC137C) are not required.

All training programs should be conducted with reference to the regulatory regime of the prevailing statutory authority - currently ACMA.
