purpose
The National Certificate in Cablemaking (Level 3) with specialist strands, is a
production qualification in the cablemaking industry. It is designed to recognise
extensive experience in production specific and generic skills for, or associated
with, cable production. Holders of this certificate are able to undertake a range of
production related activities under limited supervision in two specialist areas of
cable production and cable testing.
The National Certificate in Cablemaking (Level 2) [Ref: 0566] is a prerequisite to,
and includes the same strand requirements as this qualification. For this
qualification, people are required to broaden their industry knowledge and skills
by selecting a different specialist strand to that chosen at level 2. Both qualifications
share a selection of unit standards in the Core Elective components, and elective
credits gained for the prerequisite qualification can be used to meet the credit
requirements for this certificate.

of which share common unit standards.
