Purpose

The Certified Optical Fibre Installer (COFI) for Enterprise networks course is designed specifically for installation and maintenance staff working on enterprise, datacomms, local area (LAN) networks. It provides a broad knowledge of the fibre optic components, tools and equipment used and highlights good working practices in order to inspire a professional approach to the job role. Practical hands-on sessions build the skills required to install, joint, terminate and test fibre optic cabling enterprise links.

The syllabus shown here is designed for staff involved with standard enterprise networks. The course can be customised to cover harsh environments, industrial applications and data centres as required.

A separate version of this certification is also available to cover Core networks.
