We have another job for a Lucid trained splicer.
If you trained in fibre optics with us and are considering your next contract, then the client who recently asked us to find a couple of our trainees to work for them on 6 and 12 month contracts has said they now have a third contract position available.
I’m afraid we can’t help you if you are not one of our trainees. The client has asked for people trained by us because as our contact put it “I know how good your training is”, and we can’t vouch for others.
More information available on request, or send me a CV to forward on to the client.
This is Lucid’s original full 5-day advanced testing course, run by John Colton, our technical director who is an acknowledged world expert on advanced testing of fibre networks, and wrote the first OTDR and PMD courses in the industry 20 years ago.
The course carries two formal level 3 certificates from a UK licensed awarding body. The location is Lucid Training Centre in Garsdale, Cumbria LA10 5PE
The course is modular, starting with the “Advanced OTDR Testing” module over the first 3 days, followed by the “Advanced PMD and CD Testing” module over the last two days – either module can be taken separately as well if preferred.
Due to corporate commitments we don’t often get the opportunity to run this as an open course, so please call or email as soon as possible if you’d like to reserve a place.
The government consultation on laser pointers carried out in August-October 2017 has now finished, and the results are published here:
The report concludes that it is not practically possible to control import of laser pointers, and introducing a licensing system as in New Zealand and Australia has had little effect
The main recommendations are to introduce new labelling for the degree of danger that is immediately obvious to the public, and to increase public awareness of the hazards through information campaigns, and in schools.
We fully agree with the statement in the report that:
“the one thing more hazardous than a correctly labelled high power laser pointer is a high power laser pointer labelled as safe”
We still have a couple of places left on the advanced fibre course in February. The course consists of three days of AOTDR and two days of CD-PMD. You can do both parts of the course or just one of them. Please contact the office for full details.
