THE FIA QUALIFICATION SCHEME - CERTIFIED TRAINER REQUIREMENTS - QUALIFICATIONS - PERIODS OF GRACE


The FIA is prepared to extend a significant period of grace to experienced trainers in order to allow then to enrol for and gain a suitable qualification. For "new" trainers the FIA is keen that suitable training in delivering training is sought as soon as possible. The FIA has decided, however, not to insist on immediate enrolment since this might be disadvantageous to the individual or their organisation, and prevent them from taking options such as night school courses.

The period of grace begins from the date of the Certified Trainer application. Trainers may apply for extensions where a programme is a high-level training award that would normally take longer than 12 months to complete, and this will be at the discretion of the FIA QSD.


Those with up to 1 years training experience must enrol on a suitable course within 6 months and gain a suitable training qualification within 20 months.

Those with up to 3 years training experience must enrol on a suitable course within 12 months and gain a suitable training qualification within 24 months.

Those with up to 6 years training experience must enrol on a suitable course within 24 months and gain a suitable training qualification within 36 months.

Those with more than 6 years training experience must enrol on a suitable course within 48 months and gain a suitable training qualification within 60 months.


Trainers must provide evidence of their training experience either in the fibre optics or other industries. Suitable evidence will be, for example, job title of ‘trainer ’ with evidence of years of employment, or a job description detailing the delivery of training courses as a significant part of that job role. It will be at the discretion of the QSD whether the evidence provided is deemed to be sufficient for a particular period of grace.
