To get started, we recommend either the self-paced online lecture TR-FOF Fiber Optic Fundamentals course or the hands-on TR-CFI Certified Fiber Optic Installer Course. If you are seeking a general understanding of fiber and will not be working with it directly, the FOF course could be good for you. However, for technicians who will be installing or maintaining fiber optic systems, the CFI is recommended.

  • FOF = Online Lecture
    • FOF is all online, there is no classroom portion
  • CFI = Online Lecture + Hands-on Labs

  • CFI = $1,350 (plus logistics fee for course location)*
