City & Guilds 3666 Comms Cabling (Fibre)

  • Aims/ Objectives
  • PQMS are approval to run the Telecomunications -- Fibre Internal and External scheme 3666 by the awarding body City and Guilds. This qualification is appropriate for potential or new technicians, or managers and network designers who need an introduction to this area of the industry

    Fibre splicing and Testing is the growth industry with plenty of potential for you to develop a rewarding and successfull career.

    To achieve this qualification, candidates must take the core unit -- Unit 1:

     

    Unit 1.   Basic principles of communication systems

     

    Plus a choice of any of the following units:

     

    Unit 2.    Fibre optic cabling in an internal environment

    Unit 3.    Fibre optic cabling in an external environment

     

    Each unit is assessed by an online multiple choice test. Optional units include an assignment combining both practical and written parts. In addition to the technical content, we also cover health and safety, environmental and European development issues as appropriate to each unit.

     

  • Who Should Attend?
  • This course is suitable for the following: • Fibre to Home engineers FTTH • Fibre to Cabinet engineers FTTC • Installation technicians and supervisors who will be installing telecoms • Engineers installing CATV, CCTV, fibre optic or copper datacoms systems • Managers and engineers who require an introduction to theoretical aspects • Managers and engineers who require practical aspects of fibre or copper • Test engineers who will be required to perform acceptance testing • Maintenance staff who will be required to perform routine maintenance • Emergency fault finding and repair engineers • Career change students - we work hard to make the change easy for students practical assignment
  • Prequisites
  • None except a good attitude

    As a company whose background is embedded in BT-Eircom telecoms we bring all this knowledge and experience to this course.

    PQMS have grown with the industry and is ideally positioned to pass on the latest information to our students to assist them in identifing new carreer openings

    This enables us to pass on practical  information to our course attendees which has added greatly to the experience of our attendees who have attended our courses

     

     

    •  test fibre continuity using a visible light source

     

    •  measure the insertion loss using an infra red light source and power meter

     

    •  test link performance using (OTDR) Optical Time Domain Reflectometer  techniques.
