Telefocal Certified Fiber Optics Technician (TC-FOT)

This course equips participants with the necessary knowledge, theories and concepts on Fiber Optics and Fiber Optics Communications. Practical lab sessions using essential fiber optics equipment such as OTDRs and Fusion Splicers will be included. It would help to translate what students learn in class to practical experiences.

At the end of the course, participants will undergo a certification exam which will validate their knowledge on
Fiber Optics theories and concepts, as well as Fiber Optics system, transmission and testing.

The exam will cover key domains listed as follows:

  • Deploying Optical Fiber Network
  • FTTx and GPON
  • Light Theory and Optical Transmission
  • Optical Fiber Network and Systems
  • Optical Fiber, Cables and Hardware
  • Telecom Network and Transmission
  • Tools and Testing

Fiber optics core technicians and supervisors, cable splicers and other telecommunications professionals or contractors who are employed in (or looking to be employed in) the build, installation, repair and troubleshooting of optical transport systems.
