- Certificate: Competency certificate
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course participants will be able to:
- Explain fiber optic fundamentals: modal structure, attenuation, dispersion and connector types.
- Select appropriate fiber types and connectors for subsea/ROV applications.
- Prepare, strip and clean fiber safely and to industry standards.
- Perform fusion splices and mechanical terminations with consistent low loss.
- Use OTDR and light source/power meter to characterize and troubleshoot fiber links.
- Implement best practices for handling, routing and protecting fiber on ROV tethers and tooling.
- Apply learned skills in a realistic ROV case study — diagnosing and repairing a tether communication fault under time constraints.
