Since 1987, The Light Brigade has trained more than 45,000 technicians, installers, engineers, and designers from a wide variety of industries: telephony, broadband cable, utilities, media broadcast, industrial, manufacturing, mining, government, aerospace, along with various branches of the military.

Whether your application is voice, video, and/or data, or you are a service provider, contractor, or end user, The Light Brigade can provide critical training for your personnel to lower operating costs and improve installation effi ciency.

InstructorsOur professional instructors and technicians are technically skilled and have a variety of real world practical experience in all aspects of fi ber optics. With experience in applications such as communications, signaling, security, and network control, our instructors provide valuable insight into the design, installation, and operation of state-of-the-art fi ber optic systems.

Hands-on TrainingExtensive hands-on training sessions help our attendees to learn fi ber optics by doing rather than watching. Attendees spend class time building, testing, and troubleshooting an actual fi ber optic system. In each of our courses, the ratio of students to instructors during the hands-on sessions assures that there is direct personal interaction and attention to each student.

Technology-basedIn our training classes, you receive an objective viewpoint, not a sales pitch. We teach fi ber techniques that are applicable to any product, and select the best available equipment and supplies from many different manufacturers. You can choose to develop your skills using our state-of-the-art equipment and accessories, or bring your own to learn how to use it more effectively.

RelevantOur course materials are constantly updated to stay in step with current and emerging technologies. All of our materials and techniques are written and taught based on the latest standards, recommendations, and codes from ANSI, ITU, TIA, IEEE, IEC, Telcordia, MSHA, NEC, NESC, and others.

Continuing SupportTo assure continued long-term support, we offer technical assistance to our class attendees. If you have a question or need help after the class is over, our staff is there to help. All alumni of our three- and four-day classes are also entitled to a 25% discount on additional training courses and DVDs.

Light Brigade Certifi cate of CompletionEveryone who completes one of our courses will receive a Light Brigade Certifi cate of Completion, signed by the course instructor. This certifi cate specifi es the content and total number of instructional hours for both the classroom and hands-on portions and is traceable to the class attended.

Third-party Credits and Certifi cationMany of our classes are eligible for independent certifi cations through third-party industry organizations and groups. These certifi cations are typically progressive levels and show competency in hands-on skills and technical knowledge. See individual course for more information.

In addition, many of our courses are eligible for BICSI Continuing Education Credits (CECs), SCTE Recertifi cation Units (RUs), IMSA Technical Advancement Recognition Points (TARPs), and Infocomm Recertifi cation Units (RUs).

Fiber Training

Custom Fiber Optic Training OptionsFiber Optics 1-2-3: This course covers multimode and single-mode technology and can be easily tailored to address engineering, installation, and management needs.

Fiber to the User (FTTx): We have three options for customized FTTx courses: one for planners and designers (CFHP), one for outside plant designers (FTTx OSP Design), and one for technicians (FTTx for Installers and Technicians). We can easily customize a course to address and tailor any FTTx requirement to meet your needs.

Fiber Characterization: This course can be tailored specifi cally to your application and requirements. Our on-the-job training option can provide outside plant characterization on your spans using our instructor and equipment.

Restoration/Maintenance: Ensure that your staff and equipment are prepared to handle not only normal maintenance, but an emergency restoration scenario as well, in a course tailored to your specifi c application and environment.

Premises/Enterprise Networks: Bring your staff up to speed on the latest advancements in data communications, fi ber, transmission equipment, and options for growth and migration.

DWDM: Optical multiplexing requires greater understanding and care to operate and maintain these complex optical systems. This course can be tailored specifi cally to address your system, equipment, testing, and/or troubleshooting needs.

40G/100G Systems: New generations of transmission systems are being developed and implemented. It requires additional training to understand and address the impacts of dispersion, attenuation, refl ectance, and non-linear effects on your system.

ROADM/Switched Networks: Due to their greater reliability, optical switched networks are being implemented. We can teach your staff how to test, troubleshoot, and maintain these components and systems.

Sensing: Fiber optic sensors are being implemented worldwide, and understanding fi ber and sensor theory, techniques, and applications is key for those working with this technology. We can tailor a course specifi c to your application and to the type of fi ber optic sensors you use.

Determining Your Training NeedsWe have developed a series of custom course questionnaires to assist you in identifying key goals and objectives for your organization. These allow us to tailor a course based on your application and specifi c staff needs.

• What is your time frame for hosting a course?• What are your primary objectives for this course?• How many classes do you need?• How do you think the class time should be allocated?• How many days of training do you need?• How many people will be trained?• Is certifi cation important?• How do you use fi ber in your work environment?

CFHP Online Training ProgramThis course is focused to network designers, network planners, supervisors, and project managers that will be involved in deploying and maintaining FTTH and FTTB networks. Students will gain a broad base of knowledge and familiarity with FTTH architecture, network design, deployment technology, and operational skills.

This online training program is comprised of 16 modules that allow the student to grasp key concepts at their own pace and gauge their mastery through knowledge questions, culminating in a 75-question practice exam.

The comprehensive online training course covers the same material as our Certifi ed Fiber to the Home Professional (CFHP) instructor-led classroom training, including the following topics:

• Bandwidth and economic issues• Evolution of fi ber-to-the-home networks• Basic fi ber optic theory• FTTH architectures and topologies• Network components

• Fiber and cable management• Termination options• Network design• Loss budgeting• Test equipment and test procedures

Upon completion of this program, the student will have the necessary knowledge to successfully complete the CFHP certifi cation exam available on the Fiber to the Home Council’s website.

The CFHP program is ideal for remote and international students, providing valuable training without the expense or inconvenience of travel. While this class will not take the place of the personal interaction available in instructor-led training classes, it supplies an organized, interesting and interactive means for learning key technical material.

After registering on line, you will be given a log in and password unique to you. You will have up to 90 days to complete the course but it can be completed in a weekend if you choose to dedicate the time. You can take each module at your own pace, logging off and logging back on where you left off. You can review completed modules at your convenience and retake practice exams through the course.

Course LevelIntermediate to expert. This series of modules requires basic knowledge of fi ber optic theory and terminology as well as fi eld experience, equivalent formal training such as the Fiber Optic 1-2-3 course, or viewing the Light Brigade Staff Development DVD set.

Emergency RestorationThe words “emergency restoration” strike fear into any network or outside plant manager. Network outages can cost tens of thousands of dollars every hour your system is offl ine. When (not if) a problem occurs, it is critical not only to have a recovery program in place, but to have staff trained to deal with the emergency in timely, cost-effi cient, manner.

This two-day course features 8 hours of classroom lecture and 8 hours of hands-on drills to provide heavy emphasis on fault location, troubleshooting, and test equipment, then culminates in a second day of hands-on drills that simulate actual fi eld restorations for both retrievable and non-retrievable slack scenarios.
