Complete two days of hands-on training
Upon completing the appropriate CFOT online training, obtain your certificate of completion and bring it to an FOA-accredited training facility for a two-day, instructor-led, hands-on training course.
Take the FOA certification exam
After successfully completing the required practical training and meeting applicable eligibility requirements, students may take the FOA certification examination. Students who pass the examination and satisfy FOA requirements can earn their FOA certification.
Please note: a Fiber U certificate of completion is not itself an FOA professional certification. FOA certification is earned by passing the FOA certification examination and meeting current FOA eligibility requirements.
