Free Online Fiber Optic Technical Training Available Through SDM
With the sudden emergence of COVID-19 and the ensuing efforts to contain the spread, many security dealers and their employees may be facing downtime due to a slowdown in business, self-quarantining employees or mandatory shelter-in-place orders throughout the country. One way to use this time productively is to complete training online to learn about fiber optics and premise cabling and better prepare yourself for the industry’s future.
SDM has partnered with Dave Engebretson, our Security Networkings columnist, to provide no-cost online technical training from the Fiber Optic Association during this national emergency. Two courses, “Basic Fiber Optics” and “Premise Cabling,” are available now for education and training. After completing the course, users will be able to print out a free completion certificate, normally issued for a fee.
