Data and fibre courses

[Thomas123]

Hi guys,

what course would I have to do to become a data specialist? Industry recognised of course. Not one of those fast track rubbish

HNC Computer Technology with Diagnostics, CCNA and MSCA, the C&G fibre splicing ticket as well as about 3 years on job training.....

BICSI is the industry standard. Not many have the qualifactions current though as you have to keep attending courses to stay current

Also as mentioned the C&G fibre course is good. Although it will take more than a few courses to become a specialist in Fibre Install/Diagnostics.

I got what you said about the data course. But what is fiber ? What are the sessions that it covers?

Instead of copper, a lot of Data comms work now involves Fibre Optic cabling, you would need to learn how to fusion splice fibre, and or polish on connectors.

The fibre splice/test kit is quite expensive to buy. I work on/offshore splicing fibre and installing copper for Oil companies.
