What is the S008 PIA Overhead Cable Installation Open Course?

The S008 PIA Overhead Cable Installation course is for engineers and contractors working on Openreach infrastructure to gain their S008 PIA Overhead Cable Installation certification. The course takes three days to complete, and the accreditation lasts for three years.
