COMMUNICATION TECHNICIAN APPRENTICESHIP ASSESSMENT

COURSE CTA3430: TELEPHONE BASICS

Level: First Period Apprenticeship

Prerequisite: CTA3900: Apprenticeship Safety

Description: Students are introduced to the telecommunications industry and learn that the industry encompasses any communication over a distance—telephone, television, radio, wireless network, computer network, telemetry or other means. Students also explore how these technologies and others continue to converge so that the lines between telecommunications and other industries, such as computer hardware and consumer electronics, are getting blurrier all the time.

Parameters: Access to a materials work centre, complete with basic instrumentation tools and materials, and to instruction from an individual with journeyperson certification in the communication technician trade.

This sample rubric is for assessing technical elements that students need to know to be successful if they challenge the first-period apprenticeship exam. The rubric does not include the last two common outcomes that address the demonstration of teamwork and personal management and identification of steps to achieve personal goals. It is the certificated teacher’s responsibility to ensure that all outcomes are taught and assessed.

COMMUNICATION TECHNICIAN APPRENTICESHIP ASSESSMENT

COURSE CTA3435: SWITCHING & EQUIPMENT

Level: First Period Apprenticeship

Prerequisite: CTA3900: Apprenticeship Safety

Description: Students are introduced to switching systems and learn that the systems generally perform these three basic functions: transmit signals over the connection and alert (ring) the called station; establish connections through a switching network for conversational use during the entire call; and process the signal information to control and supervise the establishment and disconnection of the switching network connection.

Parameters: Access to a materials work centre, complete with basic instrumentation tools and materials, and to instruction from an individual with journeyperson certification in the communication technician trade.

This sample rubric is for assessing technical elements that students need to know to be successful if they challenge the first-period apprenticeship exam.

Parameters: Access to a materials work centre, complete with basic instrumentation tools and materials, and to instruction from an individual with journeyperson certification in the communication technician trade.

This sample rubric is for assessing technical elements that students need to know to be successful if they challenge the first-period apprenticeship exam. The rubric does not include the last two common outcomes that address the demonstration of teamwork and personal management and identification of steps to achieve personal goals. It is the certificated teacher’s responsibility to ensure that all outcomes are taught and assessed.
