DD102 – Designing telecommunications distribution systems
$3,300.00 (GST Inclusive)
This knowledge-intensive course instructs you in real-world tasks, preparing you for design roles in the workplace. The course is the ideal preparation for those looking to undertake the RCDD exam. It is also a proven means to get more familiar with BICSI’s award-winning Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual (TDMM), the essential guide to best practice in ICT infrastructure.
Through the use of case studies, schematic and construction drawings and real-life scenarios, you will learn to design standards-compliant telecommunications infrastructure, beginning where the cabling enters the building to any telecommunications environment within the building.
In addition to structured cabling, all facets of design for the support infrastructure, including telecommunications spaces, pathways, bonding and grounding, and firestopping are included in the course. DD102 has been structured to maximise your take-away from the class. Students work together to complete a final group project, allowing immediate use of new knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom.
* Note: The RCDD exam is not included in the course fee. You must apply and register for the exam separately. You may complete an exam application online at bicsi.org/rcdd.
What’s in it for me?
RCDDs set the benchmark for the ICT industry, and DD102 is an essential course in preparing you to earn that elite designation.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING to your DD102 training course
- Proof of identity to show your instructor – this can be either a current driver’s licence, passport or company photo ID
- TDMM (14th edition manual (electronic or printed copy)
- Laptop or tablet
Prerequisites
Preparation for Designing telecommunications distribution systems
The DD102 course is designed for those who have a minimum of two (2) years experience in the design and specifications of cabling infrastructure systems. If you do not meet these requirements, BICSI strongly recommends that you complete the DD101:Foundations of Telecommunications Distribution Design course prior to enrolling in DD102.
There are no pre-requisites to attend the training program, however JB Hunter suggests participants with minimal exposure to telecommunications design undertake “DD101 Foundations of Telecommunications Distribution Design”, a web based course from BICSI Connect, before attending the DD102.
Required Materials
Students must bring the TDMM (13th edition), print or electronic, to class. The manual (not included in the course fee) can be ordered at bicsi.org/bookstore. Students are also required to bring a laptop computer or tablet to class each day.
