Fiber Optic Hands-On Skills Workshops
Light Brigade's five specialty-focused workshops aim to develop and demonstrate proficiency in technician hands-on skills. These comprehensive intermediate level workshops prepare field technicians and installers for not only the hands-on skills needed to complete an installation, but also to be recognized as experts in their trade.
Each workshop completed will earn the learner a Light Brigade digital Credly badge. Any two workshops completed can fulfill the intermediate course requirement for the Light Brigade Certified Fiber Optic Expert (CFOE®) designation.
Upon successful completion of four workshops, the learner will earn the benchmark Light Brigade Certified Broadband Fiber Optic Specialist (CBFOS®) designation.
