3668 – 03, Unit 301, 302 & 306 – HYBRID Level 3 Structured Cabling and Enterprise Networks Full Award
City and Guilds Level 3 | 1 to 4 days plus assignment time
The qualification will be referencing the BSEN50173 and BEN50174 series of standards
This Level 3 4 Day Core Modules & Structured Cabling and Enterprise Networks Units 301, 302 & 306 course aims to give delegates the skills to analyse the equipment, standards and protocols used in data networks.
With businesses and organisations now more dependent on cloud-based technologies there is an imperative for an enhanced knowledge of network cabling and other supportive elements of the infrastructure. These elements will be comprehensively covered within this unit.
Delegates will be able to apply their knowledge of theories, models and structures gained from this unit and other units to implement a data network including internal and external infrastructure.
CORE MODULES:
Unit 301: The aim of this unit is to enable delegates to gain an understanding of the safety, to develop and increase the knowledge required for safety, including safe working practices and behaviours, whether working in an internal network and in the external network, including underground, overhead and the public highway.
Unit 302: The aim of this unit is to enable delegates to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of telecoms transmission technologies.
Unit 306 Structured Cabling: this unit covers all aspects of structured cabling; product selection, installing, testing, test results.
PLEASE be aware To be accepted onto attendance of this Hybrid course, candidates MUST provide verifiable evidence of having achieved City & Guilds Level 2 in Communcations Cabling. This may be achieved by providing the certificate, or enrolment number if undertaken previously with us. We are here to advise and we welcome you to contact us if you have any questions.
