The qualification covers the technical network construction skills required for main layer, including health, safety and hygiene, and also includes requirements relating to working effectively and maintaining effective working relationships. Learners must produce workplace evidence to show that they can meet the assessment requirements consistently over time.

Duration

10 days - training room/practical training.
2-3 days - work based assessment.
Portfolio of evidence to be carried out by the candidate with support from the trainer.

Claire and all her team, in particular Maria, made our annual training event a success. Delivering 15 different courses , over 2 weeks for 21 staff is a huge task. No request was too difficult and all our training aims and objectives for this year were met. The feedback from our staff has been all positive. This has been the fourth successful year of training with Expedient and we intend to carry on using their services in the future. Many thanks for making the very complicated training programme a success.
