IntroductionAbout CommTel

CommTel Training

Dr. Patrick O’Hara PhD CM BE DipEdTraining Group Manager

The charter of the CommTel Training Group is to provide professional technical education services in the electronic communications disciplines to industry, corporate and government sectors.

The group delivers specific training courses in Telecommunications, Digital Transmission and Data Communications with varying subject focus. The subject matter includes technology based training, customer integrated systems training and specific vendor equipment operations and maintenance training.

The courses provided are primarily to enhance the various skill levels of participants from introductory through to advanced. The training courses improve participants’ capabilities, as resources for our customers and in turn benefiting themselves professionally.

We use the latest training techniques, utilising the practical “hands on” aspect of our state of the art teaching laboratory.

The CommTel Training Group is able to provide on-site practical training courses across Australian, New Zealand and the UK. The remoteness of the Australian interior prevents particular customers from using the training facilities at CommTel’s

Melbourne Centre. For such occasions we have a standalone mobile training system that can be utilised in remote locations.

There are scheduled training courses currently available under the following headings as Scheduled Technology Training and Scheduled Vendor Specific Training. These scheduled courses are offered in addition to our standard Technology, Systems and Vendor equipment training.

The CommTel Training Group has the capability of tailoring training courses for those customers who wish to have courses designed specifically to suit their needs.

CommTel is currently in the process of becoming a Registered Training Organisation and will provide assessed training with competency certifications in particular fields for specific vendors equipment and network management operations and administration.

CommTel provides the opportunity to include days of training in Technical Services Agreements as part of a regime to maintain the technical capability levels of our customers’ resources.

Scheduled Technology Training

Scheduled Vendor Specific Training

Our training programs have been divided into three areas; Scheduled Training, Technology and Systems Training as well as Vendor Specific Training.

Scheduled Training has been divided into two distinct types; Technical and Vendor.

There are a number of technology training courses available. These training courses have been scheduled for up to twelve months in advance.

The current schedule is restricted to three telecommunication technologies conducted over consecutive days once a month:

Each is an independent training course.The schedule will vary from time to time to reflect our customers’ changing needs.

The Training Group has scheduled a number of Vendor Specific Training courses. These training courses are specific to particular vendors’ equipment and are seen as being a ”Hands On” introduction to Operations and Maintenance practices.

The courses are scheduled on a rotating basis over a three month period with different vendor’s being the focus in a particular month.

The current schedule is restricted to three consecutive days once a month and have been scheduled up to twelve months in advance.

Each is an independent training course.The schedule will vary from time to time to reflect our customers’ changing needs.

System Training is a comprehensive program of intensive study covering the individual components

forming the building blocks that together integrate into a system according to the specified

requirements.

Duration: Systems Training by its very nature will vary in duration due to the complexity of the design

solution.

The training premise and outcome will be dictated again by the complexity of the system and the number

of dissimilar equipment components.

The training courses syllabi have been provided with premises and predictable outcomes for each training course.

Each syllabus has been designed with the collective requirements of technicians, engineers and field personnel in mind.

Customers are encouraged to request modifications to these syllabi and outcomes, to better fit their specific requirements.
