Competitors will have to show they can both cut and connect cables and optical fibres.
Competitors should be able to demonstrate how to install a wireless network.
Marks are awarded to those who can show an understanding of different types of cable and how they relate to other aspects of a network.
Judges are looking for someone who can work safely and to a high standard.
