See the Light® Seminars

Technology changes at the speed of light. Corning was there at the beginning and is committed to keeping you up to date on the latest innovations in the fiber optic industry. See the Light® seminars offer free three- to six-hour training sessions on a variety of fiber optic topics.

These seminars are taught by Corning experts. Our instructors bring real world experience and application to the training sessions. We update our content for seminars annually and offer new topics each year. Upon completion, the student is emailed  a certificate of completion. BICSI credits may apply. Courses are also recognized by FOA as credits toward FOA certifications. These free seminars are an excellent resource for instructors, installers, contractors, designers, and others who are seeking to continue their education.

Please use the profiles below as a general guide when selecting the topics of most interest. These are generalities only - not hard requirements. Course topics are subject to change. All topics may not be available due to equipment or instructor constraints. Please check regularly for updates or email the See the Light team at [email protected] for more information.

This interactive three-hour session will provide attendees with expert instruction on accessing closures, installing optical cable, and expanding closures for higher fiber counts in a hands-on fiber optic system build. Students will learn how to correctly prepare and install closures as well as properly pairing them with optical cable. This interactive training includes both lecture and hands-on demonstrations.

Target Audience:  Contractors, consultants and end users seeking a broad overview and hands-on experience with fiber optic cable and closures.

This training is a focused presentation on the engineering principles behind how all the tools, no-epoxy/no-polish, and splice-on connectors used during the termination process work. Our research strongly suggests that this knowledge inherently creates a more proficient technician because understanding “why” and “how” provides the basis for troubleshooting and problem resolution. This interactive training includes both lecture and hands-on demonstrations. All the concepts are presented by PowerPoint and on white boards in simple terms that expand throughout the session.

Technologies such as campus-wide connectivity, wireless-first buildings, triple-play guest services, robust audio/visual systems, and security & surveillance needs are coming onto our networks at an increasing rate and challenging building owners to think about a more holistic technology strategy. This course discusses the top technology challenges that enterprises face today including enabling long-reach applications, staying ahead of future technology needs, and adapting for growth areas.
