COURSE DESCRIPTION

It is not a matter of if an outage will occur – It is a matter of when an outage will occur!
Network outages can cost a company thousands of dollars for every minute that your network is down. Having a recovery program in place is critical.  Having a staff that has been trained and prepared to deal with the emergency when it occurs is also vital.

The Fiber School has, over the years, worked with a number of network providers, including Adtell Integration, a leading contractor for emergency restoration services. We now offer our Emergency Restoration Training course to accommodate what has become an overwhelming industry need.  Our course emphasizes real-world hands-on troubleshooting techniques to quickly find the fault locations and provides students with hands-on experience in field restoration.
