The qualification is comprised of a number of short courses spread out over a period of time including:
  • Time in class completing face to face training and assessments
  • Online content for experienced technicians and for revision
  • On the job training and assessment
The time spent in class completing face to face training is dependent upon the experience and qualifications that the technician already has.
Comtech will conduct an evaluation and produce an individualised training plan for each student.
As this qualification is based on an apprenticeship the duration required depends upon the experience and qualifications that the technician already has.
A Comtech Training assessor will advise of the expected duration required and this will be reflected in the training plan.
Time spent in class will also be dependent upon the technicians experience and qualifications.
This is expected to be between 30 and 40 days over the full period of the apprenticeship 
Additional online training and revision will be required coupled with site visits for training and assessments.
