FTTC Course (Skills 1-2-3-5 & 16)

Course Overview

FTTC Course (Skills 1–2–3–5 & 16) provides practical training for telecommunications technicians working with Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) networks. The course brings together skills covering fault-finding, metallic conductor cabling, aerial cable work and network-related installation activities.

Training focuses on the practical tasks required when working across access and customer networks, including preparing and completing jumpering activities, jointing metallic conductor cable and installing, terminating and securing aerial cable. Learners also develop skills for constructing aerial-to-underground transitions and carrying out systematic fault-finding to identify and address network issues.

The course is suited to telecommunications technicians involved in FTTC network installation, maintenance, upgrades and fault response. Work practices include applying safety requirements, protecting cabling infrastructure and completing relevant testing and fault-finding activities.
