The access network goes through four primary cycles in its lifespan. The first cycle is the design process, and then there is the construction of the access network. The next two periods are maintenance and upgrade. The maintenance cycle is the longest-running cycle of an access network. The work during maintenance and upgrades must be up to national and local standards. It will be up to the construction inspector specialist to scrutinize ongoing changes to the access network and confirm the system complies with requirements and standards. The Construction Inspector Specialist course will introduce inspectors to construction techniques used in the aerial and underground access network. In addition, the course will provide learners the knowledge of NESC and GEO95 compliant standards.
