The Fiber School is one of the largest, most diverse fiber optic training programs in the USA with over 50 courses in more than 40 locations across the United States and around the world. The Fiber School is a finalist for Driving Workforce Development through training presented by Broadband Nation.
The Fiber School was established by the President of The Fiber Optic Marketplace, LLC Christopher LaBonge. Its mission was to provide training that covered fiber optic theory, hands-on skills testing assessments, and a practical exam which would test a student’s ability to comprehend and problem solve practical applications he or she would encounter in the field. This combination of training is aimed to reflect actual field work as closely as possible.
Whether it’s your budget, your schedule, or your location, we know you can’t always take the time to get away for training. If that is the case (or if you just prefer to learn at your own pace), The Fiber School now offers dozens of classes online (including our most popular one – Certified Fiber Optic Installer TR-CFI-RCT-OP1) that you can take from anywhere you have reliable internet access.

The Fiber School’s instructors aren’t just teachers, they’re field-experienced technicians and engineers who have seen it all and done it all. They’ve experienced the pitfalls and can teach you how to avoid them. Teaching much more than simply industry “best practices,” students are empowered with real-world examples, tips, tricks, and techniques that enable them to excel right out of the gate.

What sets The Fiber School apart from other training schools and certifying bodies is the “hands-on” approach that is used in our classrooms. Students don’t just learn from a book, or by watching someone else perform the procedures they are learning about – they roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty using the latest, most advanced industry equipment and techniques themselves.
