Light Brigade, AFL’s trainingandeducation
division, is partnering with Fiber Insight to
offer two new course options for design
and engineering customers: certified
optical network associate (CONA) and
certified fiber characterization engineer
(CFCE).
CONA is an intermediate level course,
teaching the techniques for optimum
system design and how performance can
be affected by the fiber infrastructure.
CFCE is an advanced course that focuses
on the tests required to verify that network
infrastructures can support future, high
data rate applications.
“Teaming up with Fiber Insight allows us
to bring two rigorous, five-day technical
courses to our customers this year,” said
Lee Kellett, general manager of Light
Brigade. “With the growth in higher speed
networks, there is great need for these
types of courses. The CFCE and CONA
courses are licensed by OTT in the UK
and are very well respected around the
world.”
The first CONA course is scheduled at
Light Brigade’s Seattle training center
in February and the next CFCE class will
be at the Lowell, MA, facility in April. The
classes are open and anyone can register
to attend.
