Live Online Fiber Optic Training

Train With Industry Experts

This unique course allows the student to follow along with an FIS instructor in real-time, this is not a prerecorded course.

Discussions are welcomed with plenty of time for questions, sharing of challenges and successes from the field. Each student after registration will receive via mail “Johnny’s tool box” and the FIS fiber optic manual, a $315.00 value, to follow along with the instructor on different cable construction types along with stripping and preparing a fiber cable for termination or fusion splicing.

Upon completion of the course an FIS certification will be sent to each student. Further eligibility to receive (16) continuing education credits for Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) credential certification program can be secured by each student who is member of BICSI.

The Live Online course reviews and features some of the latest fiber optic equipment and tools such as power meters, light sources, visual fault locators, Optical Loss Test Sets (OLTS) OTDRs and fusion splicers.
