Conquest Communications has developed over the years a unique online learning management system (LMS) tailored to our specific training needs. We deliver all theory through the online LMS and pair this learning with practical hands on days.
This system provides the flexibility to learners to log in at their own convenience to undertake their study. It minimises the time learners take away from work as study can be completed after hours which in turn maximises time spent on paid work. Each unit of competency is broken in to smaller sized subjects which means that the learners are not locked to the computer for large periods of time. Assignments can be uploaded directly to their profile for marking by our industry experienced trainers and assessors.
Below is a table outlining the hourly breakdown of the different delivery methods for this course. Please be advised that this is a guide only and that a learners experience level, Recognition of Prior Learning applications, personal/work commitments etc. will impact on the length required to complete this training.

2 hours online study a week ~ 1/2 day classroom attendance
NB: This course can be completed a lot quicker depending on the learners background and experience. Most of our students can complete the online study in as little as a week or two if they are motivated.
Our assessors are experienced in applying recognition of prior learning (RPL), so if a learner is trade qualified (even in a different field), an experienced cabler, or has completed other similar nationally recognised training, then in most cases RPL or Credit Transfers can be applied with the submission of supporting evidence.
This training leads to trade level qualifications. Thus a good tradesman must own the appropriate test equipment to perform competently as a trade qualified person. We also appreciate that the more expensive items are often simply hired as needed by you or your company.
We supply all of the required tools and equipment for learners at their hands on training days.
In accordance with the ASQA 2015 standards for RTO's we do not collect more than $1500 in prepaid fees for our courses.
As this course is not above this amount the full fee will be required upon registration.
See our Policies for more information of our policy around fees, refunds, cancelations etc.
We’re a Nationally Recognised Training Organisation and can train all over Australia. All our training gear is transportable increasing our ability to train in many places other companies can't go. We have experienced and qualified Trainers who travel across Queensland each year conducting our training and full time trainers in Brisbane and Bundaberg. We also have Trainers in other states.
For Training outside of the above mentioned locations and in other states please call us first and we’ll let you know where the closest trainer is to you and how quickly we might be able to line up the schedule to meet your training needs. If you sign up 5 or more learners we can travel to you and deliver the hands on training in your own workshop. For an additional fee, we can also attend your workplace to deliver training if you do not have the 5 or more learners. These training days at your workplace can include the weekend to minimise the loss of your normal weekday working hours. Alternatively if you are registering as an individual, or your company has less than these numbers, we schedule courses in the major towns throughout the year, and your learners can attend these sessions.
Due to the unpredictable nature of regional training, Regional learners purchasing Conquest training must be aware that our guarantee to deliver the training as close to them as possible is only valid for the first year of their enrollment. If after 1 year they have not finished their training (hands on component) we reserve the right to request that they travel to our nearest training location at their expense. We would not ask this lightly and it would only occur if the Trainer in the learner’s location is unable to complete the training due to health, personal/professional issues or they are no longer working for Conquest Communications. Where possible prior notice to learners would be provided.
All up depending on your previous experience this qualification requires approx. ½ day of practical hands on training/assessment. In some cases the hands on day assesssments may be wavered for experienced cablers who can show evidence they have the necessary skills and knowledge. If you have current certification that shows competency in any of the following units you do not need to complete the allocated hands on day.
Cable Testing practical training requirements are one ½ day session – approx. 4 hours.
Inexperienced Cablers –
If you sign up 5 or more Learners we can travel to you and deliver the hands on training onsite at your workplace. For an additional fee, less than 5 learners can be accommodated and the training venue be at your workshop. Alternatively if you have less than these numbers or are registering as an individual, throughout the year we schedule courses in major cities/towns and you can attend these sessions.
Additional fees may apply if you require the hands on training component urgently outside our scheduled sessions.
Please call 4159 6950 to find out the hands on training delivery scheduled.
Successful completion of this qualification will provide Nationally Recognised competency that will allow learners to add the Cable Testing endorsement to add to their Open ACMA registration (previously the Austel Licence).
