This fiber optic installation training course is designed for those who layout, install or maintain fiber optic cabling systems to wind turbines. It identifies you as an installer who is able to demonstrate a practical knowledge of fiber optic theory, codes, standards and practices widely accepted in the fiber optics industry. This training focuses on the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems common to wind turbines utilizing fiber optics. In addition, this training incorporates two days of individual hands-on training validating installer skills, including fiber terminations, cable preparations, fusion splicing, OTDR and optical loss testing. These skills are applicable to all the requirements to safely and competently install, maintain, and test fiber optic cabling systems.
Students must pass exam to be certified.

Lectures are self-paced and provide valuable information that will help you pass the certification exam. Online access is accessible for 1 year from the date you register. The lecture portion of this class is online and self-paced through our Learning Management System. Students receive a personal login to the platform providing access to lectures, study guides, practical exam, practice tests and technical exam. We recommend that the students complete the lecture before attending class. Lectures prepare students for the instructor led hands-on lab portion of the course. On the last day of the class each student will take a 75-question multiple choice test and if they pass, they will receive their certification in 2-3 weeks. Approximate time needed to complete lectures: 16-20 hours.
