What is the Fibreplus Splicing & Testing Course?

This two-day course provides the practical skills and knowledge required to safely and accurately splice and test fibre optic cabling. Suitable for engineers of all experience levels, it offers a solid foundation in the techniques and best practices used for fibre installation and testing.

Who should attend?

This course is suitable for anyone looking to develop or enhance their fibre optic splicing and testing skills. It is ideal for those new to the industry who want to learn the core principles of fibre installation, as well as experienced engineers wishing to refresh their knowledge and ensure they are working in line with current best practice.

What does the course cover?

Day one focuses on practical fusion splicing techniques. Delegates will learn how to successfully splice the two most common fibre types, 900 µm and 250 µm fibres, before progressing from basic fusion splices to pigtail splicing and joint enclosure splicing. The course also covers the most common splicing issues, their causes, and the techniques used to resolve them.

Day two introduces the essential methods used to test fibre optic installations. Delegates will learn how to use a Visual Fault Locator (VFL), carry out end-face inspection and insertion loss testing, and gain an introduction to OTDR testing. This includes setting up an OTDR, interpreting system traces and event tables, and identifying common faults.

Practical details:

This two-day course is delivered at our dedicated training facility in Melksham, Wiltshire. Delegates receive hands-on training using the latest equipment from Sumitomo and VIAVI, with all required equipment and PPE provided throughout the course.

  • “I first used Fibreplus for training 2 years ago. The training was fantastic and well delivered. I have just purchased test equipment from them which and their expertise has been invaluable for ensuring that I have ordered the right thing first time. I would recommend Fibreplus for both training and equipment sales.

  • City & Guilds 3667-02 Online Course "As I am returning/upskilling all of the units materials were extremely useful in helping me to understand both the physics, fundamental knowledge, standards and overview of fibre optic installations, both internally and externally. The presentation of the course was well balanced and the format of the video and quizzes worked well.

  • Having reached out to multiple training centres in order to get my level 1 & 2 for the C&G 3668 - 02 in Fibre Optics, I eventually settled with Fibreplus in Melksham which is a 3 hr drive for me. The reason for my choice was simply the assistance, professionalism of the staff with my enquiry & questions especially Stef who is brilliant with her knowledge & communication, if she didnt have the answer she got it & called me back. The support that I got when doing the self study was 2nd to none (so many emails LOL) . Then came the in house training & exam prep then exams. Here Peter was brilliant taking time to explain thoroughly and assist in the practical sessions splicing, testing, & walking through each process. Happy to say I passed the exams. Now looking to do the Advanced OTDR testing soon. I cant reccomend Fibreplus enough for your training needs. Reach out to Stef with your questions.

  • Two courses completed down at Fibreplus in Melksham, both courses were fully loaded with valuable information but ran smoothly and with a good environment. Instructors know their stuff and they're all willing to pass on their knowledge. I purchases some equipment after the course too, this was well organised and I even had to call to pick their brains once, which they were more than happy to help. Keep up the good work!
