“Since our initial offerings of Canadian open enrollment venues in 2013, we have experienced great success with our core Fiber Optics 1-2-3 course in Canada,” stated Dario DePaolis, general manager for Light Brigade. “We have been so impressed by the response that we have added even more of our high quality courses to our 2015 schedule in order to satisfy the growing demand for fiber optic training in the country.”

The course targets individuals who wish to learn how to design, install and maintain fiber-optic communications systems in such applications as telco, broadband access and premises (LAN) environments. The course will enable students to use the latest technology and equipment to splice, connectorize, test and troubleshoot fiber optic networks in order to increase efficiency, reliability and on-the-job safety, as well as to reduce cost and downtime.
