FAO 15 years as a training partner at NJATC NTI
 
FOA Gets Award for 15 Years as Training Partner at NTI 
The FOA offered two courses at NTI this summer. 2006 NTI graduate and FOA Board Member Tom Collins offered a FOA CFOT hands-on course (both AM and PM). Tom, Jim Hayes, FOA President, and Karen Hayes, FOA Administration, met with NTI attendees at the trade show and gave a Monday evening seminar on what's new in Fiber Optics. FOA will be at NTI in 2012. Watch the FOA website for the schedule.
 
Who Is The FOA?
The FOA (The Fiber Optic Association, Inc.) is the "professional society of fiber optics," a non-profit educational organization that has certified over 34,000 fiber optic technicians in over 30 countries over the last 15 years. FOA CFOT certification is recognized worldwide and offered to all students by over 200 schools, training organizations and fiber optic manufacturers in the US, Canada and in >30 countries overseas, plus is used by organizations like Corning, AFL and NASA.
