Cable Telecommunications Training Services delivers another world-class practical fibre optic workshop in conjunction with the United Kingdom Telecommunications Academy (UKTA) at The Kigali Institute of Science and Technology in Rwanda.
Building on success of previous workshops, CTTS Technical Trainers, Jason Sowden and Darren Shann, deliver a five day practical fibre optics course to delegates from five different countries in the Africa region.
A trademark CTTS practical course involved the trainers being deployed with substantial equipment and resources to deliver an exciting hands-on event. Students were taught using the very latest cutting-edge equipment for the installation and testing of fibre optic communication links.
