Course Description:
Looking to jumpstart your career? Take our Fiber Optics Bootcamp!
This program is an intensive, accelerated version of our traditional Fiber Optic training program, equipping you with 3 Fiber Optic Association sanctioned Certifications in 5 Days. No prior experience necessary. This five-day boot camp includes our foundational three certified fiber optic courses--Certified Fiber Optics Technician, Certified Fiber Optics Specialist/Splicing, and Certified Fiber Optics Specialist/Testing & Maintenance. Cost includes study materials, exam fees and textbooks for all three courses.
Certified Fiber Optic Technician: This introductory fiber optic tech course is designed for anyone interested in becoming a Certified Fiber Optic Technician and is a pre-requisite for any of the specialist Certifications. This Fiber Optic Training combines theory and 85% hands-on activities to prepare the student to take the CFOT (Certified Fiber Optic Technician) test that is sanctioned by the FOA (Fiber Optics Association) and given and graded the final class day. This course also introduces the student to industry standards governing FTTD (Fiber To The Desk), FTTH (Fiber To The Home), and Distribution Cabling. Students will learn how to identify fiber types, recognize various connectors used in fiber installation; and install, terminate, splice, and properly test installed fiber cable to existing standards.
Certified Fiber Optic Specialist in Testing: This program is designed to offer advanced training to anyone involved with the testing and maintenance of fiber optics networks. A focal point in the program is to offer a general, easy to understand, approach to fiber optics testing standards with little theory and considerable hands on activities. This comprehensive program explains the variety of testing standards, equipment and technological approaches used in fiber network testing and splicing and how to choose among them. This 85% hands on course explores the overall spectrum of testing and maintenance of singlemode fiber optics networks and provides a detailed overview and demonstration of various pieces of equipment used in testing and maintenance. Subject matter includes a detailed study of ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-(7)A, OTDR fundamentals and uses, OTDR vs. Insertion Loss Testing, Return Loss Testing, and Attenuation testing using the Power Source and Light Meter.
Certified Fiber Optic Specialist in Outside Plant: The CFOS/O specialist course is designed for students who will be directly involved in installing Outside Plant (OSP) Fiber Optics Cabling. The instructor will cover industry standards for installing, testing, and troubleshooting OSP fiber optics cable, focusing primarily on single mode OSP cable used in rugged outdoor environments. Students will learn to identify OSP fiber cabling types, recognize various outside plant closures used in OSP fiber installation, and develop skills in installing, preparing, terminating, splicing, testing, and troubleshooting OSP fiber cables to current standards. Combining lecture sessions with 85% hands-on activities, this training prepares students for the CFOS/O, OSP hands-on and written exams.
