Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to supervise a cabling project. It requires planning, preparing financial budgets and monitoring of cabling work. Cable used must be compliant with appropriate Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) technical standard requirements for underground, aerial, Category 5, 6, 6A, 7 or 7A, or unshielded twisted pairs (UTP). Cabling products must be ACMA-approved.All customer cabling work in the telecommunications, fire, security and data industries must be performed by a registered cabler. All cablers are required to register with an ACMA-accredited registrar.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
complete all appropriate plans and financial budgets for cabling activities
supervise cabling project applying human resource policies including awards and conditions and all related OHS and work practices
monitor and implement alternate plans where necessary to meet work schedules and customer requirements
complete a project report on a cabling projects detailing recommendations for improvement.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
site with cabling project
access to human resource policies, including awards and conditions and all related OHS and work practices
relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impact on monitoring activities.
Methods of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
review of a hands-on project completed by the candidate
review of an oral and written report prepared by the candidate, including completed documentation
direct observation of the candidate supervising a cabling project.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTCBL3009A Install, terminate and certify structured cabling installation.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
