Certified Fiber Optics Specialist in Testing & Maintenance
This intensive program offers advanced training for individuals involved in testing and maintaining fiber optic networks. Emphasizing practical experience with minimal theory, the course provides a clear and accessible approach to fiber optics testing standards. Participants will learn about various testing standards, equipment, and technological methods used in fiber network testing and splicing, along with guidance on selecting the appropriate tools.
The program, which is 50% hands-on, covers the full spectrum of testing and maintaining single mode fiber optics networks. It includes detailed demonstrations of the equipment used in these processes. Topics include ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-(7)A standards, OTDR fundamentals and applications, a comparison of OTDR and Insertion Loss Testing, Return Loss Testing, and Attenuation testing using Power Source and Light Meter.
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.
*A CFOT is the prerequisite for all other courses and it must be successfully completed first prior to attending any of the other "specialist" courses.
