Start your FTTH/FTTP journey with the most accessible introduction to full-fibre broadband networks available anywhere in the world. Learners are walked through every component, architecture type, and project lifecycle stage from initial survey to service activation. Whether you are a new entrant to the fibre sector, a professional transitioning from copper or coaxial networks, or a policy, finance, or construction specialist supporting a fibre programme, this course delivers the context and vocabulary needed to participate confidently in FTTH/FTTP projects anywhere in the world.

The most technically comprehensive PON course available in the UK fibre industry, this sixteen-module deep dive covers every generation of passive optical network technology from BPON and GPON through XGS-PON, NG-PON2/TWDM-PON, and the emerging 50G-PON standard. Learners master GPON frame structures, GEM encapsulation, T-CONT types, DBA, OMCI, PON security, WDM coexistence filters, power budgets, QoS, and real-world deployment scenarios. Advanced PON lab preparation modules connect theory directly to OLT configuration practice. 

Bridge the gap between PON theory and hands-on OLT configuration with this advanced course covering GPON and XGS-PON configuration principles across major vendor platforms including Nokia, Huawei, and Calix. Fourteen modules address CLI navigation, OLT uplink and interface setup, ONU provisioning, VLAN design, broadband, VoIP and IPTV service configuration, XGS-PON migration, performance monitoring, security hardening, and configuration troubleshooting. Scenario-based exercises develop the decision-making skills required for live network environments. Direct preparation for FA-OL practical lab workshops.

Develop the skills to design complete, standards-compliant FTTH PON networks with this systematic advanced course. From take-up modelling and capacity planning through splitting strategy, ODN architecture, power budget calculations, feeder/distribution/drop design, MDU solutions, resilience design, and GIS-based workflow, fourteen modules address every aspect of professional FTTH ODN design. Design exercises use real-world scenarios and data sets, preparing learners to produce design deliverables to Openreach PIA, BDUK, and IEC standards.

Minimise downtime and resolve faults faster with this structured advanced troubleshooting course for PON networks. Following an ITIL-informed fault management framework, twelve modules cover physical plant faults, ONU registration failures, rogue ONU detection and isolation, service-layer diagnosis (PPPoE, DHCP, VLAN), voice and IPTV faults, optical power analysis, network-wide fault events, field test tools, root cause analysis, and proactive monitoring. Complex fault scenarios and case studies develop the analytical thinking that separates expert NOC and field engineers from the rest.

The professional-level capstone for Fibre Academy's FTTP/PON pathway, this course integrates design, build, test, operations, commercial, security, and sustainability knowledge into a comprehensive expert practitioner programme. Advanced case studies, NOC operations scenarios, customer experience management, GDPR in FTTP, sustainability analysis, and structured certification preparation prepare learners for industry recognition and senior technical roles.

Multi-dwelling units represent one of the fastest-growing and most complex segments of the FTTP rollout, and this specialist course provides everything needed to design, build, commission, and manage fibre networks in apartments, hotels, student accommodation, and mixed-use developments. From wayleave and the Electronic Communications Code to MDU survey, design options, power budget calculations for tall buildings, CDM compliance, commercial models, and future-proofing for XGS-PON, this is the definitive MDU FTTP resource.
