What is the Advanced Testing Course?
The Advanced Testing Course is a 2-day Fibreplus course that covers both the basic and advanced skills involved in accurately and safely testing a fibre system.
Who should attend and what are the course requirements?
Our Advanced Testing Course is suitable for beginners within the industry and those already working in the industry who would like to gain an advanced knowledge of fibre optic testing. There are no requirements for this course, although a basic understanding of fibre optics would be beneficial.
What does the course cover?
The Advanced Testing Course covers: Health and safety, Cleaning, Visual Fault Locator Testing, Inspecting Connector End Faces, Insertion Loss Testing with Light Source and Power Metre, An Introduction to OTDR Testing, OTDR Set up, Advanced OTDR Testing (Manual Measurements of event loss, Thresholds, Examples of less common issues, Smart Link Mapper), FiberComplete, Bi Directional OTDR and IL/ ORL Testing.
How do you complete the course?
Students will need to attend our facility for 2 days to complete theory classes and hands-on practical workshops with our trainer.
For students who would like additional time to prepare, we can provide up to 4 weeks online access to the class presentations and demo videos via our portal prior to attendance.
Practical details:
Students will be required to come to our facility for two days to complete a practical workshop, which involves conducting a risk assessment of the testing process, identifying and using the correct hierarchy of equipment to evaluate system content, and conducting a detailed pass/fail and fault analysis of the fibre system and component parts.
Our Telecommunications Training Centre is based in Melksham, Wiltshire.
Extended Support and Aftercare
At Fibreplus Telecommunications College we pride ourselves on our extended support once our students have completed their course. Our Support Team and Trainers are only a phone call away to assist with any questions you have once you leave us.
