FOA CFOT Deluxe — Certified Fiber Optic Technician
The guide, the questions, and the hub. Deluxe includes everything in the Study Guide tier, plus the full 500-question practice bank, the six cheat sheets, and a license key for the LoadCairn online practice hub.
The real exam: FOA CFOT, 100 questions (multiple choice, matching and true/false), at least 70 correct to pass. No prerequisites on the FOA-Approved school path; the Direct Certification path requires at least two years of documented relevant field experience installing and testing fiber optic networks.
What's inside:
- The complete study guide — 6 chapters covering all of FOA's published CFOT topics: fiber theory and communications systems; optical fiber and cable; connectors, splicing and termination; installation of premises and outside plant cable; safety (eye, tool, chemical, disposal); testing of components and cable plants; network design, loss budgets, documentation, codes and standards
- 500 original practice questions with the correct answer and a plain-language explanation for every question, organised by domain so you can find your weak areas before you test mixed — including full coverage of testing and OTDR method (reference methods, launch conditions, bidirectional averaging, ghosts), splicing comparisons (fusion vs mechanical vs mass fusion), and worked loss-budget reasoning
- Cheat sheets for all six chapters — the condensed must-know tables and field reminders (wavelength windows, fiber sizes, connector families and polishes, reference methods, OTDR event signatures, budget allowances) for final-days review
- Online practice hub access (license key included) — the same 500-question bank in Timed mode (100 questions in 120 minutes — the 100-question count is FOA's verified exam format; the 120-minute timing is our own practice format, because FOA does not publish a numeric time limit for this exam), Practice mode by domain, and Review mode that re-tests only the questions you missed
A note on the question counts: FOA does not publish percentage weights for this exam's topics. The per-domain counts were derived from the number of official syllabus topics (KSAs, curriculum topics and training-program topics) FOA lists under each domain — 63 topics in total. They are a study distribution, not FOA's weighting, and a domain with fewer questions is not a domain that matters less on the exam.
