WELCOME TO THE ADTIA

The Australian Digital Television Industry Association (ADTIA) was established as a member based industry association to promote best practice within the digital television sector by way of training and quality assurance. With an emphasis on educating rather than regulating to 'trade up your skills’, the ADTIA focuses on:

  • Quality
  • Education
  • Skill development
  • Nationally recognised qualifications

The ADTIA is working closely with Government to implement training strategies within the digital sector. Importantly, this training relates not only to technical and technological matters but also to occupational health and safety practices, customer service and how to operate your own small business.  

 

  • Individual
  • Training Providers
  • Organisations

How will technicians benefit

The major benefit to individuals are the new training programs and qualifications that are Government and ADTIA/Industry endorsed. Technicians will receive an accredited certification that covers cable, satellite and terrestrial reception systems, resulting in national accreditation and licensed technicians with skills that are current and 'future proofed'. This has never been available before within this industry.

The ADTIA will also keep a close eye on the 'infield' performance of each individual by conducting a series of inspections.  Ongoing professional development (PD) will ensure technicians are always up to date and performing at the level set by the industry as well as providing multiple pathways for individuals to diversify their business and stay ahead of the game. More ...

In 2008 it was decided the industry required some key changes, so the DRT workforce was surveyed to assess the quality of training that technicians typically received upon entering the industry.

The results clearly showed training was not extensive enough with more than 50 per cent of technicians receiving no classroom training as part of their induction. The industry responded to this valuable feedback by establishing a complete set of qualifications now included in the Telecommunications Training Package ICT10.

Together with a national quality inspection program, looking at both infield activities completed by technicians, and in-classroom activities of training providers. More ...

 

 

What is the effect on organisations in the industry.

A number of organisations over the years have invested heavily in training programs within the DRT sector. These programs often conducted by vendors to ensure their product is correctly installed, or by supply companies training technicians who sub-contract to them.

The key benefit of the ADTIA is it was established by industry for industry, providing a consistent benchmark across the industry. Not only for training but also performance of all within the industry. Organisations will benefit from the support of the ADTIA and the national endorsement and quality programs which will eliminate duplication and provide savings across the DRT sector. More ...
