st draft 4 Standards and methods –Candidate Can complete the given tasks according to plan in various environments (e.g. working in masts, wells, ditches, along railroads, crossing roads or railroads, in catastrophe area, in buildings and plants) Knows general cabling and the standards that are connected to it Follows proper methods in handling fibres (e.g. cleaning the heads of connectors)

st draft 4 Standards and methods –Candidate Can locate troubles and fix them without any disturbance to other traffic Can read the network maps and diagrams, subscribers routing info and make proper (necessary) modifications to them

st draft 4 Testing and documentation –Candidate Can perform the basic tests and measurements for utilization of a connection Can use various (proper) meters to locate faults in cabling Can calibrate the most commonly used measuring devices Can select proper measuring standards

st draft 4 Testing and documentation –Candidate Can perform testing (measuring) and interpret the results correctly Can store and printout the measuring (testing) results

st draft 4 Economical working –Candidate Can select proper tools and equipment and take care of their correct functioning Can estimate probable expansion needs with basic information (no study) Can estimate the needed material amount and working time and can make a work and material plan for the given task Works properly in customer interface in various situations
