The rapid growth in fiber optic networks by utilities is creating a demand for professional staff that is trained in the design, installation and operations of fiber optic technology. That is why UTC is launching our FIRST UTC Fiber Optics Professional (FOP) Level 1, 2, and 3 Certification examinations prior to UTC’s annual conference, UTC TELECOM 2011.
Level 1 Program - Monday, May 9, 2011 and Tuesday, May 10, 2011
Level 2 Program - Monday, May 9, 2011
Level 3 Program - Tuesday, May 10, 2011
(Level 2 is a pre-requisite for Level 3)*
*more details about the training levels will be available as the program is finalized. Please note that there is a minimum class size in order to offer the training and certification exam.
Prior to the UTC Certification exam, a preparation course will be conducted by UTC's training partner, The Light Brigade to prepare those that have not taken formal Fiber Optic training to take the exam. Following each preparatory course level, the certification examination will be made available.
To achieve the three-year UTC FOP designation, exam takers will have to demonstrate knowledge of Fiber Optics as indicated by a correct score of 80 percent or greater on the exam. Names of those who pass the exam will be entered into the UTC FOP database maintained by the UTC for confirmation by prospective employers and others. Certification is not directed at specific vendor equipment, but rather at establishing a professional competence regarding a broad base of utility fiber optic based technology.
We look forward to inviting anyone wishing to formalize their knowledge of Fiber Optics to take the certification exam and register for the prepatory training.
