Our FOA CFOT course consists of Virtual Learning on our Online Portal and then in-house practical and assessments at our training centre once your online learning is completed.
Our ‘Virtual Training’ consists of 4 weeks of online theory work on our online portal, which you complete at home. The learning consists of a video lesson and then multiple-choice question test, we also encourage our students to complete these tests and the mock exams more than once.
Once you have completed the 4 weeks learning we invite our students to our centre to complete their practical assessments and exam – these do need to be in-house meaning you would need to come to our centre in Melksham, Wiltshire.
Our Telecommunications Training Centre is based in Melksham, Wiltshire.
Our FOA CFOT course runs weekly, and we take on a maximum of 6 delegates on each course. This is so each student receives 1-1 time with the trainer and so there is enough equipment for each student to use individually. Our practical dates consist of hands-on workshops with each piece of equipment, including the latest industry product ranges from EXFO and Sumitomo.
For FOA CFOT you would need to come to our centre for 2.5 days.
Please note, exams are multiple choice, closed book examinations and results are given at the end of the examination.
When you come to us, we require you to bring your ID for registration. Other than this, we provide you with everything you need.
At Fibreplus Telecommunications College we pride ourselves on our extended support once our students have completed their courses and are out working in the real world. We achieve this as our students have access to their online theory content and workshops after they have completed their course meaning they can revise their knowledge if needed at a later date. Our Support Team and Trainers are always happy to speak over the phone and answer any questions if any support is needed in the future after the course has been completed.
