  Posted by: electime      25th June 2019

The Certified Network Cable Installer (CNCI) level3 Apprenticeship is designed for those wishing to demonstrate the highest levels of knowledge, skills and expertise in network cabling infrastructures.

CNet is the first company to launch an Apprenticeship within the network cable infrastructure sector across England and Wales.  The company has fully planned and prepared the content of the CNCI Apprenticeship that provides the apprentice and employer with a full itinerary of activities to follow and implement. It introduces the concept of an ‘Apprenticeship in a Box’, designed to take care of the time-consuming planning often associated with Apprenticeships and on-going professional development.

The CNCI Apprenticeship has been put together as the result of a close collaboration between major companies from the network cabling sector. It recognises network cable installation as a role and provides industry approved certification which standardises technical education for network cable installers. CNet is committed to the network cable installation sector and is looking to encourage more people to join the sector and inspire future career goals.

The Apprenticeship is available to all across England and Wales, the apprentice will benefit from on and off-the-job training and activities such as mentoring, shadowing, internal training and specialist external education programs. The Apprenticeship will take between 12-15 months to complete.

Apprentices must pass a practical assessment and professional discussion to successfully complete the CNCI Apprenticeship, which ensures that the learner is fully competent and ready to work independently within the industry. With a team of professionally trained and CNCI certified individuals, the risks to businesses are significantly reduced, and organisations can feel confident that their staff are competent to meet today’s industry demands.

On successful completion of the Apprenticeship, learners will be able to confidently install, test and certify copper and fibre optic cable installation across a variety of environments, working to the correct standards and best practices. Learners will also be taught how to install with confidence and competency Smart Building technology including wireless access devices, CCTV cameras, door access controls and biometric security systems.

Apprentices also experience a wide variety of workspaces including potentially hazardous areas such as building sites, railways and highways. They will also be taught how to interpret detailed project plans to construct and fix network equipment cabinets, prepare cable pathways, and install cable support and containment systems.
