Introduction:
 
IN QUAL is a course that will provide instruction on the most current industry standards for telecommunications equipment installations. The terminology and methods discussed in this course are consistent with wireline and wireless industry accepted guidelines i.e.; AT&T, Verizon, Telcordia and National Electrical Code (NEC).

Implementing the appropriate installation standards in a telecommunications environment is essential for installers, engineers, quality auditors, maintenance technicians, supervisors and others involved in an installation project over-site capacity. A comprehensive understanding of the current installation standards is necessary in order to ensure that the installation processes used to install telecommunications equipment are attaining the quality installation standards demanded in today's environment.

IN QUAL provides broad instruction into the technical and visual aspects of industry accepted installation guidelines required for the installation of telecommunications equipment. To help reinforce the comprehensive installation guidelines discussed, casework / lab activities are included. Upon completion you will leave with the ability to recognize installation items that do not comply with today's industry standards

Throughout the course, knowledge assessments are used to reinforce the topics discussed. At the completion of the course you will be tested to document your knowledge. Successful completion of this test will earn TPI Trainers Certification. The test results will also provide you with an appreciation of your attained knowledge through classroom participation.
