UNIT 309: Design and Planning External Enterprise Networks 
DURATION: 3 days including examination

This 3 Day Design and Planning External Enterprise Networks Unit 309 course aims to provide delegates with an understanding of the industry standards and requirements when designing and planning external fibre networks. Delegates will have the opportunity to develop knowledge and a practical understanding of the various techniques, skills and documentation that are necessary for planning external fibre networks.

In addition, delegates will develop an understanding of the Health and Safety practices, relevant primary legislation and other codes of practice, which are regarded as the pre-requisites for conducting any on-site surveys and assessments.

As part of planning processes, delegates will gain a significant understanding of the correct procedures, when designing a network using other licensed operators’ infrastructure including distribution network operator (DNO) overhead networks and Physical Infrastructure Access (PIA). Delegates will consider in depth, dedicated “stand alone” network designs, including local planning considerations etc, alongside and cost control/project management.
