The FOTR Fiber Optic Technician course is designed to emulate the curriculum being taught at the navy schoolhouses. Our 6000-2265 FOTR course curriculum has been approved by NSWC-DD and the Combat Systems Learning Center as a commercial equivalent to the CIN: A-670-0063 Fiber Optic Maintenance and Repair course. The 6000-2265 course is also listed in the Navy Fiber Optic Training Plan as well as the NAVSEA TE000-AA-MAN-010/2M Certification Manual for 2M and Fiber Optic Test and Repair (2M/MTR/FOTR) Programs. The FOTR program is an 18-month certification. A sailor has to be certified under this program to perform organizational (O-Level) work on fiber optic systems onboard ships and submarines. Once certified, the FOTR Certification Agent or 2M/MTR/FOTR Fleet Coordinator will enter the technician’s certification information into the 2M/MTR/FOTR database. This certification does not expire but FOTR technicians are not allowed to perform any fiber optic repairs while their certifications are out of date. An FOTR Inspector shall re-certify an FOTR Technician every 18 months. This may be extended to 24 months if the ship has been deployed.

Unlike the course taught at the schoolhouses, KITCO’s 8-day FOTR Technician course also provides NAVSEA certifications. Once the course is completed the graduate will receive the following certifications: CORE, Single Ferrule (SF), Multi-Terminus (MT), Testing and Fusion Splicing. These certifications are good for three (3) years. To recertify in the NAVSEA certifications, the technician will have to contact KITCO to register.

In addition, the 6000-2265 course is also sanctioned by the Electronic Technician’s Association (ETA) and each student may take the “optional” commercial Fiber Optic Installer (FOI) certification test. This test is supported by the NAVY COOL program. A sailor can register with NAVY COOL before the class start date and they will pay for the “FOI” certification test (a $155 dollar value). This certification is good for four (4) years. Recertification can be done with KITCO.

The modules in this course are approved and compliant to meet the NAVSEA Fiber Optic Certification Training requirements as specified and described in: 1) NAVSEA Standard Item 009-123 (FY17) – Fiber Optic System; remove, relocate, repair, and install, 2) NAVSEA Technical Specification 9090-310G – Alterations To Ships Accomplished By Alteration Installation Teams (NO.: TS9090-310G – February 2015), 3) MIL-STD-1678-1 – Fiber Optic Cabling System Requirements and Measurements – Part 1: Design, Installation And Maintenance Requirements, 4) NAVSEA Drawing 8477552 Rev C – Navy Shipboard Fiber Optic Certification Training Program.
