Fibreplus offer a range of
universally recognised qualifications, which are City & Guilds Based
and industry recognised. Also, bespoke courses pertaining to fibre
optics and copper are available on request with accredited
certification directly from Fibreplus Ltd Training.
If you cannot find a course which suits your needs in either time scale or content, please allow us to work together to achieve deliver you needs, as not all set courses address your companies requirements or simply has content not required, which detracts from their main training requirements. Some companies want only practical experience so attendees can return to work to deliver a specific task immediately.

We provide Fast-Track (2 or more courses condensed) courses of the new 3666 City & Guilds Scheme, in particular to 3666 units 2 & 3 where content of both overlap in both theory and practical content, this reduces the time away from the work place and accommodation costs.
Courses showing *** are NOT City & Guilds Accredited, although you will receive Approved Certification for any course attended, which is well recognised within the industry, our training simulator which is one of the largest in Europe allows us to provide 70-80% hands-on practical training which has proven to benefit greater to attendees than courses delivered by electronic slideshow, slide shows are only an aid/tool to delivering training. |
