Fiber Optic Training Courses Overview

Explore our courses below to find the right fit for your career path in optical networking. Each course provides in-depth training and links to dedicated pages with detailed descriptions.

 Certified Optical Network Associate (CONA).

Certified Optical Network Engineer (CONE)

Certified Fiber Characterization Engineer (CFCE)

With CONA, delegates gain in-depth knowledge of single channel fiber optic networks, CWDM and DWDM networks. Planners, designers and operation engineers focusing on metro networks, fiber to the antenna, mobile backhauls and data center interconnects and other long distance networks will benefit the most from this course.

The advanced training course in optical networking focuses on higher speed transmission networks. The course enables you to understand trends in higher speed transmission or 40Gbps, 100Gbps and beyond in core networks. This will help them determine how higher speed transmission requirements can be met by the systems you design.

The Certified Fiber Characterization Engineer (CFCE) training program is designed for test engineers, and others in related roles. Delegates learn how to carry out complete fiber optic characterization including, bi-directional OTDR testing, Chromatic Dispersion (CD), Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) and spectral attenuation.
