The first 5-day training seminar called Technologies for the construction, installation and monitoring of fiber optic cable lines was held in Perm on November 14-18.
Participants of the seminar were 20 professionals from Perm and Perm Region representing 8 companies, the latter ranging from national telecommunications operators to local construction companies.
The seminar covered theoretical aspects of fiber optic cables, splice closures, terminal equipment, bounding technology for FTTH networks construction and included practical tasks, such as cable stripping, optical fiber welding, installation of splice closures, measuring attenuation and other parameters of optical communication lines. The participants of the seminar also visited both production facilities of Incab, witnessed all the stages of optical cable manufacturing and had a tour of Incab Test Center.
“It was our first experience of organizing a joint training seminar in Perm. There was a lot of interest in this training among the market players, so I am confident we will continue running similar programs in Perm. Higher competence level of the technical staff means more reliable communication lines and better quality of telecommunication services provided for the citizens of Perm and Perm Region,” said Dmitry Gibert, Technical Director of Incab plant.
“Where there is lack of technical knowledge and in-deep understandings of the job, workers dealing with optical communication equipment are often guided by habit or intuition, which may result in failed communication lines – the thing we all want to avoid. Our experience shows that investing into staff training is cheaper than remediating the consequences of unskilled labour,” said Timofey Potapov, academic vice-rector of SSD Training Center.
Upon completion of the seminar, the participants got the following documents: certificate for the installation of SSD splice closures, certificate for operation of Fujikura welding equipment, certificate of program completion on optical fiber and cable, certificate of completion of a theoretical course on communication line construction and bounding technology from Incab Ltd, certificate for operation of EXFO measuring equipment, state-recognized certificate of advanced professional training.
