Certified Fiber Optic Installer – Level I
$1,650.00
Certified Fiber Installer training will provide the student with the necessary knowledge and skills to:
- Layout, install or maintain fiber optic cabling systems
- Demonstrate a practical knowledge of fiber optic theory, codes, standards and installation practices
- Demonstrate a practical knowledge of individual hands-on skills including:
- Performing industry standard fiber optic terminations
- Preparing cables for inside and outside applications
- Performing fusion splicing and splice tray preparation
- Testing with the OTDR and optical loss test equipment
This fiber optic installation training course is designed for those who layout, install or maintain fiber optic cabling systems. It identifies you as a fiber optic installer able to demonstrate a practical knowledge of fiber optic theory, codes, standards and practices widely accepted in the fiber optics industry. In addition, this training incorporates two days of individual hands-on training validating fiber optic installer skills, including fiber terminations, cable preparations, fusion splicing, OTDR and optical loss testing. These skills are applicable to all the requirements to safely and competently install, maintain and test fiber optic cabling systems.
This fiber optic installation course is currently offered with a self-paced, online lecture and a hands-on workshop. This innovative approach to Fiber Optic Training and certification allows students to minimize expense, time and travel by learning at their own pace, on their own schedule (using online e-Learning to complete the lecture portion of the class.) Students may then complete the hands-on portion of the class at DASpedia’s Wireless Training Learning Center (WTLC).
This course is classified as Level 1 Installer. Certified Fiber Installer training will provide the student with the necessary knowledge and skills to:
- Layout, install or maintain fiber optic cabling systems
