The Level II fiber Optic Inspector course is an advanced level of inspection, following a delivery method that is similar to how fiber optic technicians are certified. With Outside Plant applications, support equipment for splicing and ODTR report reading, this course prepares the technician with the technical knowledge background needed for inspecting nearly any fiber optic application. Both Level I and Level II Inspector Certification are ideal courses for nuclear and conventional power plant inspectors, water treatment and industrial process control inspectors, smart highway, intelligent traffic system inspectors and government department of transportation inspection personnel.
