Course Description
This qualification reflects the role of an individual involving a very high level of technical management skills and knowledge in telecommunications networks and systems who can apply numerical computations and simulation to produce engineering solutions, investigate the application of cloud networks in telecommunications switching, evaluate and apply digital signal processing (DSP) to communications system, analyse cellular and satellite systems, evaluate and use telecommunications management networks diagnose problems and provide network management support.
Qualification
On successful completion of this course the student would obtain Vocational Graduate Diploma of Telecommunications Network Engineering (ICT80110). After completion of this course, students may opt to to develop more specialised technical skills and knowledge may seek articulation into a university program.
Mode & Method of Delivery
The method of delivery includes classroom based theory and practical training sessions. A simulated workplace environment is created through individual and group activities and practical tasks in both delivery and assessment where students will be facilitated to develop skills and knowledge to fulfill the requirements for each competency unit and its elements.
