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.
Air Blown Fiber Workshop
Många av våra klasser är kvalificerade för oberoende certifieringar genom tredjeparts branschorganisationer och grupper. Dessa certifieringar är vanligtvis progressiva nivåer och visar kompetens i praktiska färdigheter och teknisk kunskap.
Dessutom är många av våra kurser kvalificerade för BICSI Continuing Education Credits (CECs).
I dagens föränderliga tekniklandskap vill kunderna veta att din organisation är fokuserad på att hålla jämna steg med och före branschstandarder. Att investera i professionell tredjepartscertifiering för din arbetsstyrka bekräftar din organisations engagemang för branschen och att ditt team har bevisad kompetens och kunskap för att få jobbet gjort. Certifiering bygger förtroende och trovärdighet och är en betydande konkurrensfördel.
Professionella certifieringar är branschaccepterade riktmärken som skiljer sina innehavare åt och erkänns som en professionell prestation för att särskilja mottagaren som kompetent inom sitt område. För att uppnå detta erkännande måste certifikatinnehavare genomgå utbildning och klara prov som utvecklats av opartiska experter från tredje part. Ämnesexperter samarbetar för att avgöra vad som är viktigt och relevant för branschen och skapar certifieringsprogram som lär ut de färdigheter och kunskaper som behövs för att bli framgångsrik. Tillsammans med oberoende organisationer utvecklar de certifieringsprov som testar aktuella industristandarder och efterlevnad.
Organisationer som investerar i professionell certifiering upplever många fördelar utöver högutbildade och dedikerade teammedlemmar. Anställda som får en certifiering känner sig värderade, respekterade och gladare, vilket kan bidra till att minska kostsam personalomsättning. Certifiering ingjuter förtroende för att skapa problemlösare som utför projekt med ökad effektivitet, vilket sparar både tid och pengar – vilket avsevärt förbättrar resultatet.
Professionell certifiering ingjuter förtroende hos både dina kunder och personal. Medarbetarna kommer att veta att du är investerad i deras framgång och kunderna kommer att uppskatta ditt engagemang för kvaliteten på tjänsterna du tillhandahåller. Skilj dig från konkurrenterna med en certifierad personalstyrka som konsekvent levererar på kundservice och ökar kundnöjdheten.
Splicing Deep Dive Workshop
This immersive two-day instructor-led workshop focuses on the setup, operation, maintenance, and reporting aspects of fusion splicing. In this predominantly hands-on course, students will learn the proper usage of various types of fusion splicing equipment and best practices for preparing and splicing single fiber, ribbon fiber, and fusion splice connectors. Students will develop expertise through immersive hands-on practice exercises that go beyond typical exposure and manufacturer-hosted training. Other areas covered during the course include cable preparation, proper routing of splice trays, and documenting results. This course will have a maximum ratio of eight (8) students per instructor. Although the class is fully equipped, students are encouraged to bring their own fusion splicing equipment to class.
Audience: Installers, ISP/OSP technicians, maintenance techs, field supervisors, or senior technicians
Prerequisite: Any Light Brigade foundational level course such as Fiber Optics 1-2-3, Broadband Fiber Optic Technician Level 1, Fiber Optics for Utilities Level 1, or equivalent field experience
Did you know - Splicing Deep Dive and OTDR Testing Deep Dive are often offered back-to-back in the same week.
