Overseas Training

Integracom Training Based in Ireland

Carl Holmes, one of the principal directors of the Integracom Management, is originally from Dublin, Ireland.

Carl is a qualified Industrial electrician having worked in Holland and Germany as well as being a security technician for ADT Europe and finishing up as a senior project manager for Workplace Technologies/NTL in Ireland and the UK before moving to Australia in July of 2000.

Carl is aware of the skill sets of European security and Telecommunications technicians and the wealth of experience they can bring to Australia.

Unfortunately the skills and qualification obtained in Europe do not easily translate into Australian qualifications and can cause a lot of confusion for technicians who wish to immigrate to Australia.

Australia has one of the strongest economies in the developed world and is about to enter a phase of massive technological growth in the area of Telecommunications. The Government is about to embark on a national fibre optic rollout known locally as 'The NBN rollout' or National Broadband Network'. This will require the cabling over 11,000,000 properties in Australia over a period of 8 years, this will require an additional 35,000 new technicians nationally. For more information log onto www.nbnco.com.au.

The Certificate III in Telecommunications will be one of the minimum qualification required by technicians to both work on the network and also to apply for residency in Australia. In a lot of cases technicians who have years of experience coupled with qualification gained from vendor training courses have been turned down due to a misunderstanding and miscommunication between the applicant and the relevant authorities here in Australia.

One of the key misunderstandings is in relation to the strong regulatory environment in Australia which requires all technicians to hold a cabling registration or cabling license to install Telecommunications cabling and security systems.

This effectively means that a qualified technician cannot work on a telecommunication or security system without having sat the course and gained the correct licenses.

Integracom Australia have now opened an office in Dublin Ireland. This will facilitate Australian training to gain Australian qualifications enabling a technician to obtain their Open Registration (cabling License) which will allow them to work straight away upon arrival into Australia. This also has the added advantage of allowing a technician to apply for a position before they arrive into Australia.

This is also ideal for telecommunication technicians who are applying for residency status in Australia as Integracom will be running the Full Certificate III in Telecommunications ICT30208. This qualification is mapped to the ASCO requirements for a General Communications Tradesperson ASCO Code 342414, which is the certificate III qualification required to apply for TRA recognition.

Integracom in conjunction with TITAB Australia will also organise your cabling license on completion so you can start work immediately on arrival. For more information relating to requirements for telecommunications technicians click here.

Integracom are affiliated with most of the major telecommunication and security companies in Australia and can advise technicians on the best course to take to secure employment.
