How will I learn?

You will study this course online in a self-paced format. The course is made up of a number of webcast lessons and online multiple choice assessments giving immediate feedback. The course content is supplemented by some videos and PDF support material. It is highly recommended that the student augment their learning with real-world design and project experience, preferably with the help of experienced colleagues or mentors.

Successful completion will require:

Completion of each webcast and any level of pass in the accumulative overall assessment score.

Is this the right course for me?

If you have an interest in fiber optics in communication networks, specification, termination, and cabling in or between buildings in any capacity and need to understand the principles, then this course is for you. Even if you are unlikely to ever physically do any practical work in your current job role, understanding what is involved is also very important to help assess the timings of a project.

Upon successful completion you will:

Receive a course certificate that may be self-printed. The certificate is valid for 3 years
