**Verizon MEMBERS** 

If you are not yet FOI or FOT certified and want to begin working towards
this goal, here is an easy way to get started. 

 

CWA is offering the first 100 members the CIS Fiber Optics Primer (20 hour course) FREE to get our members jump started.  We want to get as many of our members trained and certified.

 

The primer course is usually $99 and it is VZTAP approved.

 

This primer course provides an overview of fiber optic communications technology and applications.  It assumes some general technical background in telecommunications, but no prior knowledge of fiber optics is needed.  It is intended for members who are either new to fiber optic communications, or who are working in one aspect of the field and desire an understanding of how the various concepts are interrelated. (Course 1 of a 3 part series) This course is estimated to take 10-15 hours to complete.

 

Course begins November 20, 2006 and runs to December 22, 2006

 

100% of CWA members who have taken the full fiber course have passed certification.

 

How to take the Fiber Primer course for free if you are a CWA member:

 

  1. Go to www.cwanett.org
  2. Log in to the site (create a log in if necessary)
  3. Select {register for course}
  4. Select {continuing education}
  5. Complete the application and select course {CIS 3015 Fiber Optics Primer}
  6. When identifying payment method, select {Third Party} and enter {CWA-ga-06}

We ask that only members who have a serious interest in this course participate. There is a cost associated to your enrollment that will be covered by the CWA/NETT training program. Completion of this short program is requested.

 

Please distribute this to all CWA members

Work with Confidence

"The company sent me to a two week school, but was us for using the equipment we have. With CWA/NETT Academy’s fiber course, I learned to better understand how fiber works and how we work with it. Soon we’ll be pretty busy, and it’s going to be very easy for me to install fiber, and explain to customers how it works.”
