As a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) trade association, ETA does not provide its own training. However, ETA partners with many reputable trainers and schools across the globe to help ensure professionals are prepared to take certifications exams. This list is voluntary and by no means exhaustive. If you can't find what you are looking for, contact ETA for more suggestions. As a reminder, ETA offers a free competency for each certification that shows what you need to know for the examination. These are listed in the certification's information box to the right of each certification description.
Those organizations that offer ETA hands-on certification training must have a course approval in order to offer the certification. This includes review of course materials, instructor resumes, facilities, and equipment. ETA has a network of more than 600 Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in place to assist with these course and text reviews. Are you looking for an ETA-Approved school near you?
Do you provide training related to ETA certifications and would like to be listed? Send ETA (eta@etai.org) your logo and a brief description (200 words or less) describing your company/school and services.

This “real world” experience allows us to give each student unique insights into fiber projects. We are about teaching, not passing a test.

We teach using a balance of theory and hands-on lab time. At least 75% of class time is hands-on with an average “students to instructor” ratio of 7 to 1. Our ETA® courses are 5 full days, versus manufacturer specific or “suitcase” training that offers limited hands-on instruction and no fiber network to splice, test or troubleshoot. Our training lab is fully equipped with live 10GbE switches, that all run a singlemode fiber optic network. Students will test and troubleshoot live and dark fiber using an OTDR and OLTS. Students will also splice and terminate fiber cable in OSP closures and fiber distribution panels. It does not stop there. Students will also learn to Jett microfiber cable using the latest equipment available.
