ETA® International Broadband Fiber Technician (BFT) Certification
 
The Broadband Fiber Technician certification is designed for technicians operating in the FTTx and Outside Plant fields studying complex situations of the “physical layer” of the OSI model. Broadband Fiber Technicians are expected to know Passive Optical Networks (PON) and of Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) use. The knowledge of the concepts of fiber optics troubleshooting and service applicable to all of the functions is required to safely and completely analyze FTTx signatures, WDM systems, measure reflectance and identify faults in fiber optics communications and transmission cabling.
