The SCTE (the Society for Broadband Professionals) has launched the official course books for its broadband training series. Aimed at broadband installation technicians, service technicians and network technicians, the courses are suitable for home-study or instructor-led use. The three courses, Installation Technicians, Service Technicians and Network Technicians, follow in sequence and are designed to build up knowledge in a logical manner.
All the courses have been revised and updated by the SCTE and are available in a variety of formats, with customised versions for different markets and geographical regions. The course books are available either as reference text books or as a complete training package. The latter includes integrated assessment papers, which are completed by the student at the end of each module and marked by the SCTE. Students completing the course successfully become accredited SCTE Technicians and are issued with SCTE Certificates.
