Kent, WA – August 1, 2023 – Light Brigade, the longest-established fiber optic training company in the United States, continues the development of its courses with the release of its newest offering, Splicing Deep Dive Workshop. With a maximum ratio of eight (8) students per instructor, this course blends applicable theory with extensive hands-on practical skills exercises. This two-day workshop has been created in support of the growing demand for properly trained and qualified splice technicians, primarily driven by broadband FTTH projects and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Broadband Program.
