FOA School Starter Kits If your school is just getting started with a fiber optic program, The FOA believes it is important for you to have certain books and reference materials available for your instructors and students. These books will help you understand the FOA requirements and develop your curriculum. Your training should reference and your students should have access to The Fiber Optic Technicians Manual and NECA/FOA-301 Installation Standard as the FOA CFOT and AFOT exams are based on them. If you are an instructor who plans to teach a fiber optic class, the FOA has created a complete training curriculum for you to use in teaching the classes. The program comes with a complete set of annotated PowerPoint presentation slides (over 1,000 slides are included in the advanced kit), instructors' guides, student lab manuals, etc. By using this program, you can save considerable time researching technical materials and creating training programs and PowerPoint presentations yourself. Two versions are available, a Basic Starter Kit containing the materials for a standard CFOT class and an Advanced Starter Kit which adds a full library of materials including about 1,000 annotated PowerPoint slides, more instructors' guides, information on teaching hands-on labs for developing student skills and materials to teach AFOT and CFOS (specialist) courses. If you do not already have a curriculum developed, we strongly recommend you purchase one of these programs:
