Fiber optics installation training

As fiber optics becomes more and more common, there is an ever growing need for skilled fiber optics installers. Supervisors and consultants also need to know the important aspects of fiber installation and testing. At Lightguide Systems, we have trainined hundreds of people on proper fiber installation procedures and techniques. Based on our own field expereince of connectorinzing, splicing, and testing we have developed cost effective training modules covering all aspects of fiber installation and testing. Since our courses are offered in-house and are customized, we focus on the topics of most benefit to your employees. Developed by an instructor who is an acknowledged expert in fiber optics, these classes are technically accurate and can be provided to any depth of knowledge you wish

This training is essential for anyone involved in fiber optics installation. This includes field personnel, installation technicians, supervisors and cabling system designers.

Participants will learn how to properly, reliably, and efficiently install fiber optic connectors, splices, and cable. The quality of their work will increase significantly resulting in fewer problems and satisfied customers. Higher profits will result from the participants’ improved productivity.
