Others who may be interested in the course include network owners, IT personnel, facilities managers, network designers, estimators or other technicians involved in the design or installation of fiber networks.

This program is to renew CURRENT IMSA/FOA CFOT certifications ONLY. If you hold the old Fiber Optics for ITS LV1 or LV2 certification(s) you will need to enroll in the full 3-day CFOT program.

This program is designed to introduce the designer or manager to the process of fiber optic network design and the implementation of that design in a real-world project. This program is not intended to be an entry level program. Students should have the IMSA/FOA Certified Fiber Optics Technician certification OR experience in fiber plant installation and testing knowledge.

The Fiber 101 program can be used as a prep course or as a renewal program! This program reviews the basic principles of fiber optics and can help prep students for their CFOS/D and CFOT programs and exams. The hours from this program can also be used to renew current IMSA/FOA Certified Fiber Optics Technician certifications.
