Approved contractors
ICT contractors must follow the process to apply and register with the Ministry's approved ICT contractors list.
For data cabling contractors there is an additional training course required. All contractors must be approved by the Ministry to work on school projects, which includes installing structured cabling, supplying structured cabling product and integrating wireless services.
Cable installers
ICT cable installers wanting to apply to be on the Ministry of Education’s approved ICT contractors list must be certified installers of a Ministry-approved supplier structured cabling product or products.
- Once your company becomes a certified installer of an approved manufacturer’s product and has completed a number of warrantied installations (manufacturer to determine), you can ask the manufacturer to nominate your company to be on the approved ICT contractors list.
- Once nominated, the Ministry will contact you to ensure that you understand what's expected of approved contractors.
Data cabling contractors must also complete the Ministry’s ICT cable infrastructure standards training course. This course covers the requirements in the Ministry’s cabling infrastructure policy and standards for schools.
The training courses are run by Torque IP.
