THE FIA QUALIFICATION SCHEME - COURSE UNITS


The requirements for "Unit Approval" under the FIA Qualifications Scheme depend on the Course Unit Type.

There are three types of Course Unit:
Core Units
Optional Units
Associated Units

CORE UNITS
These are Units that are wholly related to the fibre optics and/or cabling industries and are agreed by the FIA as being wholly relevant to FIA Level Awards.

Examples of "Core Units" include the City and Guilds 3466 and 3666 schemes.

Requirements for CORE UNITS


OPTIONAL UNITS
These are Units that provide knowledge and/or skills specifically relevant to the fibre optics and/or cabling industries and are agreed by the FIA to contain a significant fibre optics, optical technology (optronics, photonics, optoelectronics) or cabling content (minimum 50%) which is directly relevant to an FIA Award.

Requirements for OPTIONAL UNITS


ASSOCIATED UNITS
These are Units that provide knowledge which is not specifically related to the fibre optics industry but is, nonetheless, agreed by the FIA as being useful to the all-round knowledge and skills of the learner and which is directly relevant to an FIA Award.

Examples of "Associated Units" include general health and safety courses, First Aid courses, management courses and technology courses or awards.
