Requests for training quotes can be made directly by emailing us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>. We will contact you directly with more information, pricing, and registration information. Availability is limited.","question":"Can I host a private Corning class at my location?"},{"answer":"<p>Our courses are recognized by BICSI as well as ETA and FOA. Each organization recognizes these courses differently. Each participant of the Corning Fiber Installation (CFI) course is issued a certificate of completion after the course is completed. They individually submit these to third-party organizations for various certifications. BICSI recognizes this course for 20 CECs, ETA and FOA recognizes it as part of the hands-on portion of their certification (additional assessments and/or credentials may be needed depending on the certification being attained). It is always best to direct customers directly to the certifying organization to confirm certification requirements.<br><br>The CFI course is required for entrance into the Corning Network of Preferred Installers (NPI) Program. It can be used to fill ongoing training requirements to meet yearly compliance. Please consult yearly requirements directly through the NPI program to ensure the requirements needed for individual NPI members.

Private classes can request FOA and/or ETA proctoring of the test. This should be decided at the time the class is scheduled to assure proper time and resources are matched to the request. There is additional cost for administering the test. FOA and ETA proctoring locations are available in most regions for those who may not have a test option associated with their class offering.
