Course programme

The City & Guilds 3666 / 3667 scheme is a true national qualification, having been approved by the UK Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) as a level 2 award (~GSCE A-C).

From August, the 3667 scheme replaces the popular 3666 scheme, previously the industry-standard qualification for fibre optics network engineers in the UK.

The course content has been updated in consultation with the UK fibre optics industry to ensure that the course syllabus is both relevant and up-to-date, reflecting the latest industry standards & codes of practice for communications cabling networks. Indeed the Fibreoptic Industry Association (FIA) has approved the City and Guilds 3667 scheme as the practical skills qualification for people wishing to enter the fibre optics industry.

Both the 3666 and the new 3667 qualification schemes consists of 4 units which can be taken independently. Successful candidates will be awarded a certificate of unit credit for each completed unit. To achieve the full 3666 Award, unit 1 and any one of units 2, 3 and 4 must be taken.

3666/7 Unit 2: Internal Fibre Optic Cabling

Optical fibre basics, fibre optic cables, ODFs and equipment, fibre preparation, fitting connectors, splicing, internal installation procedures and testing

3666/7 Unit 3: External Fibre Optic Cabling

Optical fibre basics, fibre optic cables, enclosures and components, fibre preparation, splicing and completion of enclosures, external installation procedures and testing

3666/7 Unit 4: Internal Copper Cabling

Basic electric theory and datacoms principles, standards and structured cabling, copper cables and components, termination, installation procedures and copper network cable testing.

Awards after the City & Guilds 3666/3667 Qualification

Following your City and Guilds 3666/3667 qualification Lucid can offer you a range of more advanced qualification in the testing or design and planning of fibre optic and copper communications networks. Wherever possible we provide recognised qualifications from licensed awarding bodies. These are not just our own certificates, although we do find that our own course attendance certificates are normally well-respected within the industry too.

When comparing pricing please ensure that the cost quoted to you includes everything you expect. We have come accross some training providers offering City and Guilds 3666 training courses and then asking for more money if you want to be enrolled to gain the qualification itself. We believe this is sharp practice to make the course look good value, but technically they have only promised you the City and Guilds 3666 training and not the enrolment, assessments and certificates.

Duration: 2-5 days per unit, depending on the unit & experience/home study

Assessments:

  • Unit 1: online test
  • Unit 2,3 & 4: online test & practical assignment
