The Troubleshooting Advanced Services course builds on the knowledge acquired in the Broadband Digital Installer course and complements it with a focus on troubleshooting. The three main service areas of a cable operator are covered in the Troubleshooting Advanced Services course: digital video, data/Wi-Fi and voice. The course is geared to troubleshoot at the customer premises and teaches real world processes that the student can use in a real work environment. Scenarios are presented for addressing specific issues of triple-play services at the premises, as well as the philosophy, mindset and attitude of a successful troubleshooter that can be applied to any circumstance.

Completion Time:

The estimated completion time for this course is 16 hours. The maximum allotted time is four months from enrollment.

Benefits:

  • use this course to help prepare for SCTE’s Broadband Premises Installer, Broadband Premises Technician and Broadband Telecom Center Specialist certifications
  • receive credit toward NCTI Master Technician certification
  • receive an industry-recognized NCTI certificate of graduation
