Fibre-OSP

Fibre Optic Outside Plant Telecom Installation Course Level 3

At Total Network Solutions (Europe) Ltd, operating under the name Fibre Optics Training, we actively collaborate with employers within the IT & Telecommunications infrastructure industry to tackle the skills shortage now and in the future. For nearly two decades, we have been dedicated to supporting both the telecommunications sector and service leavers.


This comprehensive Fibre Optic Telecom Outside Plant Installation Course covers all aspects of fibre optic network deployments in telecom networks, leaving no stone unturned. It covers the deployment process from exchanges to aggregation nodes, primary and secondary nodes, and the access network, where the final termination of underground and aerial subscriber nodes is terminated and fitted. You will learn to build quality networks within our purpose-built facility, equipped with underground chambers and telegraph poles, along with an exchange setup simulating real-world scenarios that you would find in a typical fibre network. From the exchange all the way to the customer’s last drop, we have it covered.

Our package includes:

✔️ Open Awards level 3 in Fibre Optic Installation

More about this course:

Our Level 3 course is designed to give your career a significant boost. We incorporate the Open Awards Level 3 units into our program to ensure you can start your new job effectively and qualify for various roles.


You will put yourself at the forefront of technology. The job market can be challenging, but possessing the right vocational skills will give you an edge over the competition. With an industry-recognised qualification from Open Awards and COFNII, you’ll also have credentials that are transferable to other countries.


It comprises both theoretical and practical components, covering single-mode and multi-mode fibre. Throughout the course, you will learn the following:


Students will learn the correct termination techniques required to install and fusion splice fibre-optic cables; this course covers conventional telecom access and passive optical networks (PON), as well as the terminology most fibre internet service providers use.


This course is a journey towards empowerment, teaching delegates how to build fibre telecom networks correctly. It will equip them with hands-on practical training to develop and commission the network to the required high standards. This course has been created in collaboration with alternative network providers (ALTNETS) and the Confederation of Fibre Optics, utilising their network infrastructure and installer expertise.

By the end of the course you will be competent in the following:

✔️ Building and configuration of aggregation and primary nodes

✔️ Creating loop joints

✔️ Installing Aerial and underground subscriber nodes (ASN & USN)

✔️ Installation of connector block terminals (CBT)

✔️ Installation of primary and secondary splitter nodes

✔️ Be able to understand network diagrams and topologies

✔️ Understand Passive optical networks and splitter ratios

✔️ Testing optical splitters

✔️ Fibre Splicing and Termination

✔️ Thorough understanding of Passive Optical Network deployments, including PON, GPON & XGS PON

✔️ Understanding of fibre network configurations (FNCs) Splicing Diagrams.

✔️ Basic testing of the network to ensure connectivity

✔️ Fault finding

Career progression:

After completing this course, you can progress to a further technical course, like the Level 3 Advanced Testing Course Many job roles in the industry now require a diverse set of skills, as technicians and engineers are expected to do more than just cabling. They need to be able to troubleshoot networks and identify faults within them. Some key roles include: ✔️ Fibre Optic Splicing Engineer

✔️ Fibre Optic Network Testing Engineer

✔️ Broadband Installation Engineer

✔️ Telecommunication Transmission Engineer

Who is this course suitable for?

This course is suitable for:

✔️ New Entrants

✔️ Experienced Fibre Engineers

✔️ Planners and Designers

✔️ Project Managers

Examinations & Qualifications Included:

You will be awarded the Open Awards Level 3 Award in fibre optics installation once you have successfully passed both written and practical assignments.

Prerequisite for the course:

Some knowledge or experience of telecoms is ideal (Smart Awards SA001 and SA002), but not essential.

Disclaimer:

This course has been modified to enable installers to be competent in deploying external networks for both underground and aerial cabling. ideally you would have already completed Smart Awards SA001 and SA002
