The Certified Fiber to the Home Professional (CFHP) program is sponsored and operated by the Fiber Broadband Association. Certification as a CFHP indicates a professional level of technical competence in fiber to the home technologies. Certification consists of demonstrating knowledge and familiarity with FTTH architecture, network design, deployment technology and operational skills. Certification is not directed at specific vendor’s equipment, rather to certify professional competence on a broad base of FTTH topics. The program consists of two parts: CFHP Training Course and Exam/Certification. If you feel that you do not require training, the exam can be taken direct – scroll down to link to the exam-only purchase page.

 

CFHP Training Course

The CFHP Training Course is not required to take the exam, and is structured to certify competence in overall FTTH theory, terminology, topology, equipment and system cost estimation. CFHP Training Courses cover a broad range of FTTH knowledge that CFHP professionals must be familiar with.

The first CFHP Training course has been developed by The Light Brigade with assistance from Fiber Broadband Association member companies and organizations. This preparatory training course is geared toward network designers, planners, supervisors, and project managers that will deploy and maintain FTTH networks. Students will gain a broad base of knowledge and familiarity with FTTH architectures, network design, deployment technology, and operational skills in order to prepare to take and pass the Fiber Broadband Association’s Certified Fiber to the Home Professional (CFHP) certification exam.
