The 5-day Certified Optical Fibre Installer course for outside plant (COFI-OSP), is designed specifically for installation and maintenance staff working on core or metro outside plant telecom fibre optic networks. It introduces the relevant fibre optic components, fibre optic tools and equipment required and highlights good working practices in order to inspire a professional approach to the job role. It includes plenty of hands-on practical sessions to build up the skills required to install, joint, terminate and test external fibre optic cabling links from end to end locations.
You’ll also receive a comprehensive course manual which is a great reference resource, as well as access to additional online resources including review questions to help you revise. You’ll usually work with another delegate/s to complete a practical installation assignment. And you’ll also need to pass a theory assessment to gain Certified Optical Fibre Installer (COFI) status.
