Courses Offered

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.
