About Course

This course on Telecoms Code of Practice Regulation (6.0 CEUs) provides an in-depth understanding of the regulatory obligations and expectations in the telecommunications industry. It equips participants with the knowledge to interpret, enforce, and evaluate compliance with quality of service (QoS) standards and consumer protection frameworks. It is specifically tailored for regulatory agencies and telecom professionals operating in dynamic and consumer-sensitive environments.

Course Overview

The regulatory agency is empowered to establish minimum Quality of Service (QoS) standards in service delivery for the telecommunications industry. These QoS standards ensure that consumers continue to have access to high quality telecommunications service by setting basic minimum quality levels for all operators.

These standards define the lower and upper bounds of acceptability of such technical issues as transmission rates, error rates, call completion rates, etc., and commercial consumer issues such as access to customer care centers, billing integrity and other characteristics that can be measured and improved. In particular, this seminar is tailored to the application of consumer code of practice in telecommunications by regulatory bodies.
