| 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 3M
and ACES International 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. Approved CEU's/Units through UC Santa
Cruz Extension and 21 hours CEU's for BICSI RCDD and Installer certifications.
