CERTIFIED FIBER OPTICS TRAINING WHO SHOULD ATTEND Current fiber optics technicians and specialists seeking certification Current fiber workers who want to expand their technical knowledge People who plan to enter the fiber optics field FIBER OPTIC ASSOCIATION APPROVED TRAINING The SouthArk Center for Workforce Development, in partnership with BDI DataLynk (FOA Approved School # 208), will begin offering certified fiber optics training in the Spring of 2013. FOA certifications are widely respected for their comprehensive coverage of the knowledge, skills and abilities course members need, a result of the FOA having access to the most experienced and knowledgeable people in fiber optics to help develop FOA programs. Schools cover subjects appropriate to the course description, providing proper course materials and FOA-certified instructors.
Certified Fiber Optics Technician Course (CFOT) Monday-Wednesday, June 10-12 from 8 am - 5 pm (lunch is on your own) Cost: $700 (Fee includes course materials and certification exam) Location: SouthArk Center for Workforce Development, Room 103 This introductory 3-day fiber optic tech course is designed for anyone interested in becoming a Certified Fiber Optic Technician.

This 2-day (16-hour) program is designed to offer specialist fiber optics training to anyone involved with the testing and maintenance of fiber optics networks. This advanced fiber optics training is strictly a practical course, but includes more background information than is typical in basic courses to allow the student to understand what they are testing and how to troubleshoot problems in long-haul and short-haul fiber optics networks. One of the most important points of the program is to teach current day technology. Too many courses teach obsolete theory and practice, out of obsolete textbooks! This course will teach differences between applications (telco/CATV/LAN, etc.) so the student can 8|Page (870)864-7193 ce@southark.edu 3698 E.Main
intelligently work in today's fiber optics cable environment. Another focal point in the program is to offer a general, easy to understand approach to fiber optics testing standards. We attempt to explain the variety of testing standards, equipment and technological approaches used in fiber network testing and how to choose among them. Many courses are criticized because they are too specific or prejudiced to one application, technology or manufacturer. We explore the overall spectrum of testing and maintenance of fiber optics networks and strive to provide a better comfort level for our students with regards to testing and maintenance of both single mode and multi mode fiber optics networks. Subject matter includes a detailed study of ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-14A, OTDR Fundamentals and Uses, OTDR Vs. Insertion Loss Testing, Return Loss Testing, and Proper Maintenance of High-Performance Fiber Networks. The Certified Fiber Optics Specialist/Testing Exam is given and graded the final day of class.
