The Leader in Fiber Optic Skills Training
Since 1987, Light Brigade has trained nearly 100,000 students in courses ranging from basic fiber optic theory and practices to comprehensive design and installation courses. We are not just theory based. Our hands-on labs reflect real-world tasks, providing the practical training needed to improve operational efficiencies by reducing costly errors.
Instructor-led Classroom Training
Our recommended 7:1 student-to-instructor ratio allows the personal attention needed to attain the required skills and concepts. Our courses include hands-on skills labs where students learn by completing practical exercises that reflect real-world situations: preparing cable, splicing, terminating, using testing and troubleshooting equipment to verify their work, and more.
Relevant Technology-Based Courses
Course materials are updated frequently to remain current with emerging technologies, products, and best practices. Class materials always reference the latest applicable standards and codes.
Expertise
We know fiber optics inside and out. It’s all we do. Our curriculum is always up to date and vendor agnostic to ensure neutrality in the education delivered. As a licensee, you will always receive the course material updates as we release them. We have also determined from experience the best quality products to be used for the hands-on exercises to ensure the best learner experience, as well as to ensure reliability and uptime of equipment to minimize disruptions.
Why Light Brigade?
Light Brigade has partnered with leading industry bodies such as the Electronics Technician Association International (ETA) to provide certification for our industry leading training courses.
Workforce Development courses offer independent, third-party industry organization, fiber optic certifications demonstrating progressive competency in technical skills. Professional certifications confirm compliance to industry standards, enhance credibility, reduce turnover, and make learners more marketable in the competitive market. All Light Brigade workforce development programs prepare the candidate to earn Electronics Technician Association International (ETA-i) credentials related to their learning path to not only make them more marketable, but to prove that they possess the theoretical and hands-on skills required to hit the ground running.
Additionally, we have partnered with Credly to provide accredited learners an easy way to share their fiber optic credentials. A Light Brigade digital badge shows the world learners have earned the knowledge and skills from the leader in fiber optic hands-on skills training. With over 35 years of fiber optic training history, preparing learners to become successful fiber optic technicians, Light Brigade has earned the name recognition and respect of the industry as the authority in fiber optic training.
Finally, certain Light Brigade courses also offer industry recognized manufacturer certifications for skills learned on specific branded equipment. Once such example are the three levels of Sumitomo Electric Lightwave fusion splicing skills certification.
