Courses Using VDV Academy Teaching Modules
VDV Academy offers a number of specialized training curriculum modules that are designed to be used in programs as appropriate. Some programs are simple classroom presentations, like the Basic Fiber Optic module, while others like the Fiber Optic Cable or Testing or Wiring Install modules are written to allow use as part classroom presentations and part lab tutorials.
To show the possible course options, we have listed some typical courses that can be taught with the VDV Academy modules and which modules can be used in the order that they will normally be given in the course. All topics, with the exception of the basics, are expected to be given as classroom introductions and hands-on labs, and even in the basics, instructors should pass around representative components (cables, connectors, etc) to familiarize students with the hardware they will be working with in labs and later in the field.
