BDI DataLynk has been teaching fiber optic training courses since 1999. You can expect our fiber optic training course to be small and not too crowded. Our basic, 3-day course curriculum allows even the novice of fiber optic students the opportunity to learn to be a fiber optics technician.
Our Instructors not only provide the lecture sessions but they also guide the student through the various hands on, stand up sessions.
