Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• capture customer functional needs for wiring system
• apply industry standards, regulations and codes of practice when designing a wiring system for a customer
• develop a detailed design in compliance with industry practices, including signal losses and/or expected measurements to be achieved at wall plates
• document the design, including a bill of materials, schedule of work and associated costs and submit to customer.

Knowledge evidence

• cabling standards, regulations and codes applicable to cable design
• building regulations that apply to installation of cabling systems
• codes of practice and Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) standards for home wiring
• carrier network delivery systems used in single dwelling and multi-dwelling units for: fibre, fixed wireless, satellite, twisted copper pair, subscription TV
• cabling requirements of home technology applications taking into account: the user needs including age and assisted living conditions, communications, digital home health, energy management, entertainment, intelligent light and power, security and safety
• testing and commissioning methods and determine performance requirements for home technologies
• customer interface elements commonly considered when designing a wiring system
• common service providers clients may specify
• safety implications of the design for users
• design parameters for cable selection and support system of a wiring system
• documentation required when submitting a design to a customer.

Foundation skills

• Reading: Reads and interprets plans, specifications and other documentation from a variety of sources and consolidates information to determine requirements; Analyses and consolidates test results and data from a range of sources, against defined criteria and requirements
• Writing: Develops procedural material for a specific audience using clear and detailed language to convey explicit information, requirements and recommendations; Produces plans and specifications to industry standards conveying design function and operation
• Oral Communication: Effectively participates in verbal exchanges using collaborative and inclusive techniques including active listening and questioning and reading of verbal and non-verbal signals to convey and clarify information
• Numeracy: Makes calculations appropriate for measuring and estimating materials and costing; Performs mathematical calculations to establish scale and dimensions of design plans
• Navigate the world of work: Accepts responsibility and ownership for tasks and makes decisions on completion parameters and need for coordination with others; Explores and implements, where identified, implicit expectations of policies, procedures and regulatory requirements
• Interact with others: Identifies and takes steps to follow accepted communication practices and protocols; Recognises common cultural and other differences of people in the work context and makes adjustments in addressing differences
• Get the work done: Takes responsibility for planning, sequencing and prioritising tasks and own workload for efficiency, and effective outcomes; Makes routine decisions and implements standard procedures for routine tasks, using formal decision-making processes for more complex and non-routine situations; Identifies ideas for applications and considers them in current contexts
