 CITY & GUILDS 3667 LEVEL 2 CERTIFICATE IN COMMUNICATIONS CABLING: |
|
Contents of the City & Guilds Communications Cabling Training Programme
The award is made up of all three courses. Which are required to complete the whole of the fibre optic cabling options for both internal and external working.
Because there is a lot of duplication between the two internal and external units we are still able to offer this with only five days attendance at either our facilities in Carlow or Dublin.
The theory element is studied in your own time at your own pace. You then only attend at our training centre once you have completed all of the review tests in the theory material.
The dates we have listed on our schedule are for the sessions where the learners attend our facility to complete the theory assessments and the practical hands on training.
In order to complete the home study element **with our support of course**. If you are already associated with the communications industry, you will be provided with at least five weeks or less based on what you need. Or between 5 to 10 weeks if your not associated with the industry, we would like new learners to have at least 8 weeks.
The next step is to complete all the practical activities with plenty of time to practice, No pressure you leave us skilled and confident.
Course 101 Principles of communication Cabling
This unit is mandatory and must be completed by every learner to achieve the level 2 Certificate in Communications Cabling.
This unit is concerned with the health and safety working practises and the basic principles of communications.
This Unit is a self directed home study unit. constructed with knowledge reviews to allow you to confirm your learning as you work your way through each section. This Unit must be studied and all Knowledge Review completed BEFORE attending classroom training.
Though we do go through this with you in a classroom revision/Test preparation period, prior to you taking the test for this unit.
The outcomes the training is to facilitate as listed in the City & Guilds Specifications are as follows:
Outcome 1: Identify the safe working practices in communication systems.
Outcome 2: Describe the basic principles of SI units and symbols.
Outcome 3: Describe the basic principles of communication systems.
Outcome 4: Describe the basic principles of data communication.
During the course you will be assessed by qualified trainers, on completion you will be required to take, an on line examination of around 25 multiple choice questions. If you pass the test you will earn the City & Guilds 3667-02 Unit 1 certificate.
Course Unit 102 Fibre Optic Cabling in an Internal Environment. (Fibre Optic Splicing in a Lan Datacomm's network)
This unit should be taken by those who would be working with fibre optic cables inside buildings or between buildings for example connecting into communication racks.
This unit is a training centre based training programme concerned with the installation, splicing, use of connectors, termination and testing of fibre optic cable in a data communications environment, usually of low fibre count cables of typically less than 24 fibres. Which are usually terminated in patch panels/equipment racks. This would normally take place in an indoor environment involving multimode LAN and end-to-end cabling.
The outcomes the training is as required in the City & Guilds Specifications detailed as follows:
Outcome 1: Work safely with optical fibres in an internal environment.
Outcome 2: Follow recommended installation procedures. .
Outcome 3: Prepare fibre optic cable for fibre connectors and splicing.
Outcome 4: Splice together optical fibres using Fusion splicing and Mechanical splicing.
Outcome 5: Terminate fibre optic cables by fitting connectors.
Outcome 6: Test fibre optic links in accordance to industry standards.
During the course you will be required to complete practical tasks and be assessed by industry approved trainers, on completion you will be required to take, an on line examination of 25 multiple choice questions then you will be awarded City & Guilds 3667-02 component certificate for this unit.
Unit 103 Fibre Optic Cabling in an External Environment. (Fibre Optic Splicing in Telecom's Networks network)
This unit is classroom based and is concerned with the installation, termination, fusion splicing, and testing of fibre optic cabling, In single mode, which is used within telecommunication networks by service operators. It covers all aspects of working with external enclosures, OTDR testing, Insertion Loss measurements link loss budgets etc.
Equipment is setup in a vehicle as it would be used today in real life, giving learners the opportunity to splice into closures as close to real working conditions as is possible.
The outcomes of the training is as required in the City & Guilds Specifications and is listed follows:
Outcome 1: Work safely with optical fibres in an external environment
Outcome 2: Follow recommended installation procedures in accordance to industry standards.
Outcome 3: Prepare fibre optic cable for fibre splicing.
Outcome 4: Joint fibre optic cables by splicing.
Outcome 5: Terminate fibre optic cables by splicing on pre-terminated pigtails.
Outcome 6: Test fibre optic links in accordance to industry standards.
During the course you will be required to complete practical tasks to be assessed by industry approved trainers, on completion you will be required to take an on line examination of around 25 multiple choice questions. If successful you then you will be awarded the City and Guild certificate for this unit and the communications cabling programme certificate.
