Value of Certification - The Fiber School

FOA vs. ETA Certification

What is the difference between a certification from the Fiber Optic Association (FOA www.thefoa.org) and the Electronics Technician Association (ETA www.etai.org). The Fiber School was an FOA affiliated school back in the late 2000’s. After learning more about both organizations it was clear to us that the ETA was a more established organization, and we made the switch. Both FOA and ETA certifications are based on the current industry standards. So why make the switch? I think if you compare the two websites you will quickly come to the same conclusion.
