To become a registered cabler you must complete the appropriate training course for the type of cabling registration that you require – Open or Restricted
If you want to work in commercial and domestic premises, you must have an Open registration. If you only want to work in domestic premises you are only required to obtain a restricted registration.
In addition to completing a training course, you must also have a minimum of six months cabling experience and have completed a relevant Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) course.
There are a number of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) around Australia that can assist you with your training needs.
TEX Solutions provide courses to get you into communications, data, security, automation or audio/visual?
Are you a licensed electrician or electronics technician?
Have you been working on communications or low voltage cabling systems for more than 6 months?
If the answer to these questions is “yes”, this program was developed for you.
This course provides cablers with relevant experience and/or training, an opportunity to legally work in the Australian communications and low voltage cabling industry by gaining the CPR (Cabling Provider Rules) Open Registration.
The ACMA are currently carrying out audits and giving out on the spot fines of up to $13,200 to anyone doing communications and low voltage work without a Registration.
Would you be fined if they audited you? Is it worth the risk?
On successful completion of the Open Registered Installer program, provided you have the required prerequisites, participants can obtain an ACMA.
