The qualification will be referencing the BSEN50173 and BEN50174 series of standards

This Level 3 7 Day  Core Modules & Fibre Optic & Structured Cabling Units 301, 302, 303 & 306 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 and the skills to analyse the equipment, standards and protocols used in data networks.

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.

With businesses and organisations now more dependent on cloud-based technologies there is an imperative for an enhanced knowledge of network cabling and other supportive elements of the infrastructure. These elements will be comprehensively covered within this unit.

Delegates will be able to apply their knowledge of theories, models and structures gained from this unit and other units to implement a data network including internal and external infrastructure.

CORE MODULES:

Unit 301: The aim of this unit is to enable delegates to gain an understanding of health and safety, to develop and increase knowledge required for producing risk assessments, methods statements,  including safe working practices (SSOW’s) 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 complex transmission technologies and systems to include LAN’s datacentres, AI, layer 3, VPN’s SAN’s as well as the range of technologies such as XPON, GPON and much more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PLEASE ensure that you read through the information provided for this training course, including the expectations of candidates, fully before booking – 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
