| The course
is a great enhancement to any networking and telecommunications
career, or for anyone who is seeking a new vocational opportunity
in the fiber optic marketplace. Upon completion of this 3-5
day (24-hour) Level I course, graduates are qualified to take
the industry-recognized FOA (Fiber Optics Association)
certification exams.
The course presentation requires lecture for understanding
the basics in the theory and design of fiber optics. Additionally,
students will enjoy the emphasis given to hands-on lab exercises
to better comprehend the practical applications for fiber
while developing job-ready skills.
Students are exposed to the latest technologies in fiber optic
cabling, connector termination techniques, standards inspection,
testing and troubleshooting. It is appropriate for those in
fiber optic component manufacturing as well as installers
and contractors, IT and MIS facility managers, lab and field
technicians, network engineers, project managers, architects,
consultants, and electricians.
Our Fiber Optic Theory and Installation Practice Program is
approved for 21 hours CEU's for BICSI RCDD and Installer certifications.
3-Day format: (24 hours) Mon-Wed 8AM-5PM (8 hrs X 3
