Option A. Attend a one day online "Certified Fiber Optics Renewal" course course given by an CFOS/IMSA instructor/moderator.

This is a live, virtual attendance program that allows for interaction with a real person for optimal learning.

Option B. Enroll in the Fiber U online course on “Fiber Technology Review” and then take the exam following the instructions below:

1. When you are ready to take your online IMSA/FOA Renewal exam (cost is $100), let the FOA know (info@foa.org). They will provide you with the exam password.

2. Upon completion of your exam, the FOA will email you a Certificate of Completion.

3. The FOA will also forward a copy of your certificate of completion to About Phase Academy (APA), an organization authorized by both the FOA and IMSA.

4. APA will review the details of your renewal to ensure it meets the renewal requirements for IMSA International and pay the applicable fees due to IMSA.
