Qualification requirements
The course is 1 of 2 course modules that can be completed to satisfy the requirement to document the fitter's competence within the subject Electronic Communication Networks. cf. National Communications Authority's (Nkom) authorization regulations § 6.
In order to be able to document sufficient competence within EKOM networks, module 1 [EKOM - Calibration Systems and Communication Networks] (https://en.trainor.no/app/product/classroom/Ds3A9p/ekom--calibration-systems-and-communication-networks) can be completed in addition.
That is, after completing module 1 and module 2, the participants receive a course certificate that can be included in the company's Internal Control (IK) system to fulfill requirements to document the fitter's competence within the subject Electronic Communication Networks. cf. National Communications Authority's (Nkom) authorization regulations § 6.
Goal
Course participants learn about planning, installing and testing all types of fibre-optic installations. Successful completion of the final exam entitles the candidate to a course certificate. This can be included in the company’s Internal Control System to document the electrical fitter’s competence in the field of Electronic Communications Networks, cf. § 6 of the Regulations on authorization for installation contractors performing installation and maintenance of electronic communications networks, issued by the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom).
Target group
Electrical fitters who work with electronic communications networks covered by the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom) authorization regulations. The course modules cover all types of installations including broadband networks, cabling in buildings and special applications on vessels and offshore.
Subjects covered in the course
- Basic system understanding and usage
- Fibre-optic calculations and budgets
- Connecting and installing fibre-optic installations, termination and welded joints
- Testing with an optical fibre power metre in accordance with NEK 700 series
