Remote Classroom Sessions are taught live by the same experienced instructors that lead Light Brigade’s classroom training. Students can interact and ask questions that are answered in real-time by a fiber technologist.

“With the current COVID-19 situation forcing many to work from home and unable to attend in-person classes, our customers wanted other options to continue training their staff,” explained Lee Kellett, general manager of Light Brigade. “We quickly responded, updating our remote class offerings to include more topics delivered in shorter sessions, and provided additional start time options. With these sessions conducted with a live instructor, our customers will recieve the best training experience possible.”

The individualized alternative of these shorter training sessions can save both time and money. Students can take a few courses or complete session bundles and use the credits for future ETA® Certification and BICSI® credits.
