Wednesday, June 18 through Friday, June 20. This training
prepares a participant to take the Certified Fiber Optics
Technician exam given at the end of the course. Cost of the
three-day COFT training is $600, which includes textbooks, study
materials, course CD, award of completion, 1-year membership to
the Fiber Optics Association, and exam.
The Certified Fiber Optics Specialist

Training is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, June 23 and 24.
Cost of the two-day CFOS/T training is $575, which includes
textbooks, study materials, course CD, award of completion, and
exam. Participants must have passed the Basic Certified Fiber
Optics Technician exam to take this class.
The Certified Fiber Optics Splicing
Specialist (CFOS/S) course is a 2-day course, scheduled for
