Level 3 Information Communications Technician

Overview - Version 1.1

Notebook Assessment Services can assess the Level 3 Information Communications Technician apprenticeship, providing a personalised, flexible and responsive service that supports apprenticeship providers.

Information Communications Technicians are a vital cog in the wheel: they’re on hand to maintain and fix your communication systems. This means less technical glitches and as a result, increased productivity. Depending on the needs of your business, learners can focus on becoming a Support Technician (helpdesk support), a Network Technician (installing communications infrastructure), or a Digital Communications Technician (resolving faults with the systems).
