The FOA welcomes organizations and companies involved in the fiber optic industry such as manufacturers, contractors, installers, consultants, etc.to become part of the FOA Corporate Program.
The FOA evaluates applicants based on their involvement in the fiber optic industry and review by The FOA Corporate Member Advisory Committee.  Companies whose primary business is training (e.g. offering paid training programs to the general public) are not eligible to join the FOA Corporate Program but may apply to become an FOA Approved School.
 
What are the benefits of joining the FOA Corporate Program?

The FOA has a searchable online database of organizations included in the FOA Corporate Program intended to be a worldwide guide to fiber optic companies. Here is the List of those in the FOA Corporate Program and information about their organization.

FOA Approved Schools are listed in a separate online database. Only FOA Approved Schools are authorized to offer FOA certifications. The FOA can recommend an Approved School to train and certify your employees.  They are also a great source of FOA certified graduates if you are looking to hire new workers.  

To find out more about obtaining FOA Certification, go to the web page on FOA Certifications.

Fiber U, the FOA online learning site offers free online training.  It is a good resource for your employees to improve their knowledge whether they are new hires or experienced workers needing to gain new skills.   Take an online exam and, when you pass the exam, get a "Fiber U Certificate of Completion" for that course (cost: $10 - $20). Note: This is not FOA certification, only preparation for it.

Other Benefits

We provide a “FOA Corporate Program” logo (see above) to be used literature, websites, etc. under the FOA guidelines.
