Now that you have completed our Certified Fiber Optic Installer course what is next? The fiber optic market size was valued at 5.41 billion dollars in 2015. This market size is expected to double by 2025. This growth will impact all industries from telecom, Oil & Gas, Military and Aerospace, medical and rail systems. And all of these industries will need trained specialized technicians.
Our technician level courses are the next step in your training. These courses will better position you to be able to advance in your career in the fiber industry. The technician courses are intense and consist of five days of real-world hands-on lab exercises that will build upon the knowledge you have gained in the installer level courses and prepare you for more advanced splicing and testing installations.
The Fiber Optic Outside Plant Technician course is similar to the Fiber Optic Technician (TR-FOT) course in that it is designed for workers with fundamental fiber optic knowledge or Installer Certification. It focuses specifically on outside plant installations (OSP). OSP includes communications such as building to building or long haul telecommunications (including customer-owned OSP.)
Emphasis is on single mode fiber optic installation and the associated international standards, theory, and practices. This specialized course is a must for any OSP professional. This course also includes an overview of FTTx (“Fiber to the x”) applications (but there is another course specifically for FTTx specialists – TR-FTTX.)
The industry may never see growth like this again, so don’t put off your career. It all starts with a phone call or an email to 877-529-9114 training@fiberoptic.com.
Students must pass exam to be certified.

Fiber Optic Outside Plant Technician training is designed with special emphasis on outside plant applications and standards.
TR-OSP students are expected to obtain knowledge of fiber optic concepts that will allow them to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to:
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 hours.
A Level 1 Installer Course (like CFI) or 1-3 years of field experience in the areas of Fiber Optic Advantages and Applications, Cables, Connectors and Terminations, Enclosures and Panels, and Test Equipment is required to take this course.
Students that want to learn advanced techniques of fiber networks installed on poles or underground.
Remember, if you have 5 or more students, we can bring our class to you at your own facility – saving you time and money!
Any of our courses can be customized to focus on your needs – like using specific equipment, or working in a particular situation.
