Now Available On the GSA Schedule.
Our 4-day ETA® approved Fiber Optics Installer (FOI) course
is designed for all individuals who have little to no experience
working with communication fiber optics.
The course material prepares each student for the ETA® CFOI
examination. You will be guided every step of the way through
the Skills Testing part of the program, as you perform all of
the tasks necessary to become a Certified Fiber Optics Installer.
You will be working with the latest and most advanced fiber optics
tools and test equipment available! See Competency
Requirements for a Certified Fiber Optic Installer.
Each student will be given a manual, industry periodicals and
technical information from several leading manufacturers in the
fiber optic industry.
Upon successful completing of the “hands-on” Skills
