What is the City and Guilds 3668-02 course?

The City and Guilds 3668-02 course is a communications cabling course which provides an industry recognised qualification. Upon successful completion delegates will receive the City and Guilds Level 2 Award in Communications Cabling.

This course provides delegates with the opportunity to learn both theoretical and practical skills of fibre optics and/or copper cabling. Learners will gain insight into the communications cabling industry and an understanding of the services offered as well as terminology, health & safety regulations, and the skills to install fibre optics.

The 3668 communications cabling qualifications provide eligibility for the relevant ECS Network Infrastructure Cards.

Who should attend?

City and Guilds 3668-02 is suitable for those who are new to communications cabling, as well as those currently doing the job who are seeking certification. The course is ideal for those looking to gain the knowledge and skills required for specific job roles within the industry. It is also for those who wish to further develop their skills, expand their opportunities, and prove their professionalism.

What are the course requirements?

Basic knowledge of communications cabling would be beneficial; however, the 3668-02 course is open to beginners within the Telecoms Industry.

What do the units cover?

2 units can be taken independently, however, to achieve the full 3668-02 certification unit 1 needs to be completed alongside any of the other units.

Unit 1 covers Principles of Communications Cabling. The purpose of this mandatory unit is for learners to develop their knowledge and understanding of safe working practices, including basic principles required to work in the telecommunications industry.

Unit 2 covers Fibre Optic Cabling. This unit aims to provide the learner with the knowledge and understanding of installation, splicing, termination and testing of fibre optic cable in patch panels/equipment racks. This would usually take place in an indoor/external environment involving multimode and single-mode end-to-end cabling.

How do you complete the course?

Our City and Guilds 3668-02 course consists of virtual learning via our online portal and then in-house practical and assessments at our training centre once your online learning is completed.

Our online training consists of up to 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 do complete these tests and their unit mock exams more than once. This online work must be completed to 90% for admission.

Once you have completed the online learning you will come to our centre for 3 days (Units 1&2) to complete the practical assessments and exams - these do need to be in-house meaning you would need to come to our facility in Melksham, Wiltshire.

If you would prefer a fully in-house course, please contact us and we will see if this can be arranged.

Practical details:

Our Telecommunications Training Centre is based in Melksham in Wiltshire.

We can take on a maximum of 8 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.

Please note, exams are multiple choice, closed book examinations and are completed on the City and Guilds computer-based exam system. Practical assessments are simulated exercises such as basic splicing, external and internal cable preparation and testing fibre optic. Results are given at the end of examination.

We require you to bring your ID for your City and Guilds registration. Other than this, we provide you with everything you need.

Extended Support and Aftercare:

At Fibreplus Ltd. we pride ourselves on our extended support once our students have completed their courses and applying their skills in the real world. Our students retain access to their online theory content and workshops after completing their course, meaning they can revise their knowledge at a later date. Our Support Team and Trainers are also always on hand to answer any questions and offer ongoing support where needed.

  • “I recently attended Fibreplus for the Fibre Optics City and Guilds 3667-02 5 day Course and left on the Friday extremely happy with everything they provided. The Course was great with all contents fulfilling my expectations. I would highly recommend this Course and provider to anyone interested in getting into Fibre Optics or using it as a refresher. All staff at Fibreplus were great and not only did they provide a good, in-depth course on Fibre Optics they also provided a rapid and very professional service for supplying Hire Test Equipment. I will definitely be using Fibreplus in the future and will also be passing on their details and services to my network within the Oil and Gas Industry.

  • The whole experience with Fibreplus has been perfect, i'd forgotten what good customer service was until I enrolled with Fibreplus every call and mail was answered instantly and I was never left in the dark. I do not feel anything needs to be improved the whole team have managed this process extremely well even in person on exam days the training has been led safely without us students feeling restricted. Well done all involved. Im sure once the restrictions are lifted the training centre will be even more enhancing. Spot on from all involved.
