Purpose

The Certified Optical Fibre Installer (COFI) OSP Course is designed specifically for installation and maintenance staff working on core telecom fibre optic networks. It provides a broad knowledge of relevant fibre optic components, fibre optic tools and equipment 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 external fibre optic cabling links from end to end locations.

The syllabus shown here is designed for staff involved with core telecoms networks. However versions of this certification are also available to cover Enterprise datacomms networks and Harsh environments.

All versions of this certification can be customised to meet specific requirements. Our intention is to provide the 'very best of class' installation training for corporate customers that require professional staff trained up to deal with high performance, critical or unusual networks.

Role

This course is a hands-on, task based, practical course for optical fibre installation teams. It starts from basics so no prior knowledge is required. It aims to take delegates up to a professional level in skills, knowledge and attitude. It also helps to remove incorrect working habits which might have been picked up from other cabling jobs. It can help if a team attends the course together along with their project supervisor or manager so everyone ends up working to the same professional standards. Typical job roles of attendees include: fibre optic installation or fibre optic cabling technician or engineer; project supervisor.
