- Schedule
- Locations: Training is held locally, or we can travel to you within the United States (some restrictions apply **, see details below). Sorry, but on-site training in foreign countries is not available.
- Class size may vary. If you or your personnel require training, contact FiberTrain to check scheduling. We may already have a class scheduled in your area that can include you, too. Classes may vary from 4 to 10 students unless special arrangements are made, although 6 to 8 students is the preferred class size. Our local classroom can seat up to 6 students. Larger class sizes must be held in a company facility, hotel conference room, etc.
- Class Hours: Typically 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, including one hour for lunch. Hours may vary based on requirements of students or employers. For example, when an entire class is from the same company, it is often customary to adopt their usual starting time, typically between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM. For companies that schedule 4-day work weeks with 10-hour days, FiberTrain will try to accommodate similar hours when possible.
- Evening classes are available by special arrangement for groups only, and may be conducted over a two-week period for the 40-hour courses when daytime training is impractical. For example, some employers can't afford to put all work on hold for a week or two for a large number of employees, no matter how much they need the training.
- Group discounts are available for classes of 5 or more, or when purchasing a block of seats spanning more than one class session (Example: purchase training for ten students provided over two classes, with four students in one class and six in another.)
- More course details are available on respective certification websites.
- Please review physical requirements before enrolling.
- ** Costs are subject to change without prior notice until payment is received and training details are confirmed. Training must be paid for in advance. Contact FiberTrain Corporation™ for current costs. Additional travel costs for on-site training may apply, although they may be waived depending on distance, number of students and other factors. No refunds for training costs once the student is confirmed and payment received, as this locks in the seat and may result in potential students being turned away from full classes. Refunds for optional toolkits will be granted unless within 7 days of class convening when they are placed on order from our supply source and can't be cancelled.
-
 accepted after contacting FiberTrain Corporation™ first to confirm training course availability, dates, training location, and specific costs (tool kits, travel, etc.) via our Secure Information and Credit Card Authorization Form.
- We accept company checks (made payable to FiberTrain Corporation), and will accept personal checks if they are received at least one week (local banks) or two weeks (out-of-state banks) prior to class to allow for clearing.
