Fibre Optic Training Courses City & Guilds 3667 qualification. This fibre optic training course city and guilds 3667 qualification is the starting point for anyone wanting to enter a career in fibre optic communications (Telecommunication Networks, CCTV, data centres and more).
3667-02 Units
- Unit 1 Basic Principles
- Unit 2 Fibre Internal
- Unit 3 Fibre External
- Unit 4 Copper Internal
Full Certificate
This Fibre Optic training course leads to the industry recognised qualification in the fibre industry and is suitable for all entry levels of new technicians. The Fibre Optic course is practical and candidates will learn the hands on skills required for a career in Fibre Optic Cabling. Ideal for those looking to work on telecommunication networks, CCTV, data centres and much more.
The new scheme consists of 3 units which can be taken independently. To achieve the full 3667 Certificate, unit 1 and either or units 2 or 3 must be taken:
3667 Unit 2: Internal Fibre Optic Cabling
3667 Unit 3: External Fibre Optic Cabling
If you are working with internal copper cable, then you may want to add Unit 4 (copper cabling in an internal environment).
Unit 1 - Basic Principles
1 Day
This training course provides delegates with a fundamental understanding of cabling media and the basic principles that lie behind communications cabling and the basic workings of a network cabling system are explored. The applications that harness communications cabling in a modern cabling system are also examined, providing a valuable insight into communications cabling and other media. The course looks at the different types of copper cabling media including Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat6a and other high bandwidth copper cabling systems. In addition, the course also takes a look at optical fibre media, otherwise known as fibre optic cabling, to include a summary of single mode (sm) and multimode (mm). As well as common communications cabling definitions and current communications cabling standards, this course gives delegates a comprehensive guide to communications cabling.
