Fiber Optic Certifications

These courses are designed to test and confirm the participant's fiber knowledge. They are 4-day courses with 16 hours of hands-on training and testing** (These are excellent courses and can be attended without participating in the testing option)

Testing is a 75 question Closed Book written test as well as a "Hands-On Skills Assessment".
