- Certified
Fiber Optic Technician Training

FOA
certifications
are widely respected for their comprehensive coverage of the knowledge,
skills and abilities (KSAs) they cover, a result of the FOA having
access to the most experienced and knowledgeable people in fiber optics
to help develop FOA programs. The guidelines for
course approval require schools to cover subjects appropriate
to the course description, provide proper course materials and
instructors who are FOA certified. All courses are reviewed and
approved by the FOA and all instructors are FOA-certified. - Students
at FOA approved courses are offered FOA membership and certification
testing at special student rates.
- Upon
completing the CFOT, FOA members can register for the FOA
online database of contractors, installers and consultants to
offer their services.
