How to find the right training

Learn about new applications

Something we always point out is that there are many different applications for fiber optics and that there are important differences in their design, installation, and testing.   For example, technicians in the external plant always make the terminations with industrially manufactured connectorized fiber cables ( pigtails ), while the technicians in internal installations make the terminations directly on the fibers with adhesive or polished, or with pre-polished connectors. FTTx technicians only use preassembled cables. Those technicians who change from one application to the other, in addition to training, will need training in the workplace to understand the application and develop the necessary skills.

How to find the right training

Whatever interests you, make sure the courses you take are suitable for your interests, otherwise they will be a waste of money and time. Here are some options to consider:

Can you learn it yourself? Some of us learn better on our own.   Is information available on the subject, for example in the FOA's online fiber optic reference guide? There are good videos that can help too, especially those with practical topics such as cable routing and termination. Can you get the right tools and components that should be used to develop the necessary skills? Is there anyone who can go for help? 

Does the manufacturer offer training? Does it cover what you need to know? Does this offer a lot of practice with the equipment and components?   Will you get a certification as an approved installer from that manufacturer?  Certification can help you get business with customers of that manufacturer.
