3668 – 03, Unit 301, 302 & 303 – HYBRID Level 3 Fibre Optic Cabling Full Award
City and Guilds Level 3 | 5 days
The qualification will be referencing the BSEN50173 and BEN50174 series of standards
This Level 3 5 Day Core Modules & Fibre Optic Cabling Units 301, 302 & 303 course aims to provide the delegate with the opportunity to evaluate the most appropriate fibre optic cabling that are commonly available in the communications cabling industry.
Delegates will develop their knowledge and understanding of different types of fibre, their uses and some of the standards associated with them.
Delegates will also build upon their knowledge of fibre testing techniques and when these are applied.
CORE MODULES:
Unit 301: The aim of this unit is to enable delegates to gain an understanding of the safety, to develop and increase the knowledge required for safety, including safe working practices and behaviours, whether working in an internal network and in the external network, including underground, overhead and the public highway.
Unit 302: The aim of this unit is to enable delegates to gain an understanding of the fundamental of telecoms transmission technologies.
PLEASE be aware To be accepted onto attendance of this Hybrid course, candidates MUST provide verifiable evidence of having achieved City & Guilds Level 2 in Communcations Cabling. This may be achieved by providing the certificate, or enrolment number if undertaken previously with us. We are here to advise and we welcome you to contact us if you have any questions.
It is aimed at *experienced* Data and Fibre Optic cabling Engineers who are currently installing and testing a full range of class D/Class E/Class EA and MM/SM fibre optic systems and are seeking to obtain a Level 3 Qualification in Network Infrastructure, Enterprise Networks, PON and other systems utilising a range of communications cabling systems.
If your unsure of the route you need we would strongly recommend that you take the City & Guilds 3668 Level 2 qualifcation first. Click HERE for Level 2 details
