Interested in Becoming a Certified Fiber Optic Technician?
This comprehensive introductory course in fiber optics is designed for those aspiring to become Certified Fiber Optic Technicians. The training integrates theoretical knowledge with 50% hands-on activities – students are able to use and practice with field equipment in class through hands on skills labs. Participants will also be introduced to industry standards for FTTD (Fiber To The Desk), FTTH (Fiber To The Home), and Distribution Cabling. The course covers fiber type identification, connector recognition, installation, termination, splicing, and proper testing of installed fiber cables in accordance with current standards. Our goal is to equip students to pass the Fiber Optics Association (FOA) Certified Fiber Optic Technician (CFOT) exam, which is administered and graded on the final day.
This program covers not only basic testing and troubleshooting, but also explores the history and future of fiber optics and fiber optics capabilities. Anyone interested in becoming a Certified Fiber Optics Technician should attend this class.
CFOT is a prerequisite for all other BDI DataLynk Courses. The student must pass (meaning 70% of the questions must be answered correctly) on both the written and hands-on exams to successfully pass this course. All exams are closed-book. Tuition includes all books/study materials, exam fees and three-year membership to the FOA.
