N23 One Fibre Network FTTP Strategic UG and OH Build - Open Course
What is the N23 One Fibre Network FTTP Strategic UG and OH Build Open Course?
The N23 One Fibre Network FTTP Strategic UG and OH Build Open Course is a 5-day classroom-based training course that offers engineers and contract partners training in the provision and installation of end-to-end underground and overhead networks from the Aggregation Node to Connectorised BT (CBT). Significantly, a technically experienced trainer will guide delegates through the process of splicing, using the correct tools and equipment, and managing underground and overhead builds while following Openreach’s standards, a critical skill for FTTP infrastructure installation. Therefore, this course makes sure delegates are ready to meet the demands of underground network installation projects. Given that, delegates will be experienced in mounting, feeding cables, and installing splitters by the end of the course.
Delegates must successfully pass both the theoretical questionnaire and the practical assessment. Successful completion of the course provides an Openreach-approved certification. Ultimately, this training ensures high standards, reducing the likelihood of errors and rework and enabling delegates to handle network installation with confidence. Experienced individuals or those with prior training may book and take the assessment only. Book your place today to ensure you’re ready to meet the demands of modern network installations.
