Fibre

This training course will provide you with the knowledge and skills that you need to install, terminate and test fibre optic cabling.

This course focuses on the components, equipment and working practices that are typically used for data comms systems for local area networks, where most of the key tasks have to be performed on cabling that is mainly in an internal (indoors).

The knowledge and skills acquired can also be applied to fibre optic systems used for CCTV, security, industrial process control and sensor applications.

During your training you will be gathering evidence which will be used to build up an NVQ portfolio. NVQ's are based on standards which industry has decided must be met before someone can say they are competent to do a particular job. They are very flexible and are designed to fit your abilities and you complete it at you own pace, as fast or as slow as you wish.

The NVQ is made up of a number of units. A unit describes what has to be done and under what conditions. The qualification is gained when all the units have been achieved.
