It includes plenty of hands-on practical sessions to build up the skills required to install, joint, terminate and test fibre optic cabling links.<\/p>\n<p>Trainees receive a comprehensive course manual, which is a great reference resource, as well acces to additional online resources including review questions to help with revision for the assessment. Each trainee usually works with another delegate\/s to complete a practical installation assignment. Trainees also need to pass a theory assessment to gain Certified Optical Fibre Installer (COFI-SA) status.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"elegant-skew-heading-wrapper\" style=\"--background_color_1:#00b65f;--background_color_2:#3bb57a;\"><div class=\"elegant-skew-heading elegant-skew-direction-left\" style=\"background: background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(#00b65f), to(#3bb57a));background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, #00b65f, #3bb57a);background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, #00b65f, #3bb57a);background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, #00b65f, #3bb57a);background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, #00b65f, #3bb57a);;\"><h3 class=\"elegant-skew-heading-text\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;\">Is it the right course for you or your team?<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1667059274567{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668456473434{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; line_height=&#8221;snug&#8221;]The COFI-SA course is a hands-on, task based, practical course. It starts from basics so no prior knowledge is required. It aims to take delegates up to a professional level in skills, knowledge and attitude. It also helps to remove incorrect working habits which might have been picked up from other cabling jobs. It can help if a fibre team attends the course together along with their project supervisor or manager so everyone ends up working to the same professional standards.<\/p>\n<p>Typical job roles of
