AFL Telecommunications is your source for content-rich, certified fiber optic training.
With over 20 years of background, AFL Telecommunications is well positioned to support fiber training requirements for most fiber optic applications. Ranging from traditional enterprise and outside plant to more advanced applications in harsh environments, AFL’s fiber optic training is designed to equip you with the knowledge to get the job done right.
The wide variety of courses that we offer can be complimented with customized instruction on specific applications and can be offered at AFL’s training facilities (located in South Carolina) or offered at locations throughout the country and throughout the world.
AFL technical training courses have been reviewed and certified by the Fiber Optics Association (FOA). This international certification insures a consistent, non-biased, content-rich approach in all of our training programs. This FOA Certification is complimented – for many of our courses – with BICSI® (Building Industry Consulting Services International ) Continuing Education Credit (CEC) hours.
