FOA

HitekNOFAL Solutions, a communication network solution provider, offers FOA courses that cover both basic and advanced fiber optic technology. The curriculum is developed and certified by the US based Fiber Optic Association, an NGO, whose mandate is to spread the Fiber Optic Technology worldwide. FOA courses cover all types of fiber optic solutions, details of network nfrastructure, how it is designed based on different applications, as well the latest installation techniques in order to demonstrate to our students how to develop and implement the optimum fiber optic communications network. Besides the theoretical material that is covered by the FOA courses during the class, the students gain hands-on training, through the company’s fiber optic lab, where each student gets a chance to handle, work with and test the fiber optic cables & accessories. The students also gain the instructors’ field experience acquired over the years from all the projects the company executed in Fiber optics.

Last but not least, students are given the option to accompany our service team on field visits to witness first-hand real life fiber optic installations. This combination of theoretical, shared experience and practical training assures the making of a well-rounded graduate ready to tackle on the challenges of working within the Fiber Optics field. In order to graduate from HitekNOFAL Academy in either basic or advanced level in fiber optics, all students have to pass a test, developed by the FOA and administered locally.
Students that pass the test get certified by the FOA organization and are registered at the FOA headquarter in the US.
