The Fibre Optic Technician Course (FOT) is a practical, 5‑day classroom programme designed to equip learners with the essential skills required to work confidently with modern fibre optic networks. Through facilitator‑led instruction and hands‑on activities, participants learn how to install, splice, test, and maintain fibre infrastructure used across telecommunications environments.
