The Certified Fiber to the Home Professional (CFHP) program is sponsored and operated by the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council. Certification as a CFHP indicates a professional level of technical competence in Fiber-to-the-Home technologies. Certification consists of demonstrating knowledge and familiarity with FTTH architecture, network design, deployment technology and operational skills necessary to design and administer an FTTH network.  Certification is not directed at specific vendor’s equipment, rather to certify professional competence on a broad base of FTTH topics.

The CFHP Training Course is structured to certify competence in overall FTTH theory, terminology, topology, equipment and system cost estimation. CFHP Training Courses cover a broad range of FTTH knowledge that CFHP professionals must be familiar with.  The first CFHP Training course has been developed by The Light Brigade with assistance from FTTH member companies and organizations.

The rapid growth in FTTH is creating significant demand for technical staff trained in FTTH technology and installation techniques.   Many service providers are struggling to find sufficiently trained staff.  In response to this need, the FTTH Council has embarked on a training and certification program in cooperation with professional training organizations, educational institutions and other third party training programs offered by major vendors and service providers.   The current CFHP Course consists of two days of classroom instruction.

• CFHP Training Course - A two-day training program is available to address job training skills for those who are interested in making the jump from legacy technologies to the FTH Technologies of today and future. (The Light Brigade is the first organization to develop the two-day CFHP course.)  Whether or not you have FTTH experience, this course will provide the knowledge and skills required for managing, designing or planning FTTH networks.  The Council recommends attending a CFHP Training Course as excellent preparation for the certification examination.  Prices of the CFHP Training Course are provided by the training organization teaching the course.

• CFHP Exam and Certification -Following the course, the online examination to confirm certification will be conducted on the FTTH Council’s website. Those who successfully demonstrate knowledge of the course matter through this online examination, by achieving a passing percentage of 80% or greater, will receive the CFHP designation and a certification diploma valid for three (3) years.  The CFHP certification will be entered into the CFHP database, which will be maintained by FTTH Council.
