FOA CFOS/T Complete — Certified Fiber Optic Specialist, Testing

Everything in Deluxe, plus the plan that sequences it. Complete is the full CFOS/T preparation package: the study guide, the 500-question practice bank, the cheat sheets, hub access — and a week-by-week 5-week study plan that tells you what to study, what to drill, and when you're ready to book.

The real exam: a skills-based specialist exam (prerequisite: the FOA CFOT certification) on which you must answer at least 70% of the questions correctly to pass. The certification is renewed every 3 years. This package prepares your knowledge for the exam; FOA also requires verified hands-on testing skills — demonstrated to an instructor in an FOA-Approved school's labs, or documented through your testing experience on the Direct Certification path — and no study package can substitute for that.

What's inside:

- The complete study guide — 6 chapters covering all of FOA's published CFOS/T topics, with worked examples throughout (loss budgets, OTDR trace math, return-loss combining, dispersion arithmetic), field notes and chapter summaries

- 500 original practice questions — correct answer and explanation for every question, organised by domain (counts derived from the number of official syllabus topics per domain — a study distribution, not FOA's weighting; FOA publishes no weights for this exam)

- Cheat sheets for all six chapters — including the budget allowance table, the reference-method counting rules, the OTDR event signature list, and the reflectance-by-polish table

- Online practice hub access (license key included) — Timed mode (100 questions in 120 minutes — our own practice format; FOA publishes neither a question count nor a numeric time limit for this exam), Practice mode by domain, and Review mode for missed questions only

- The 5-week study plan — a Monday-to-Friday schedule that works through all 6 chapters and all 500 bank questions in order, then finishes with three timed exam simulations and a clear rule for when to book your exam: two consecutive simulations at 85 out of 100 or better (the passing mark is 70%). Includes the missed-question review protocol

- 6 audio walkthroughs (MP3) — one narrated walkthrough per chapter that talks you through the material in plain spoken language, in the same order as the chapters: Test Fundamentals; Inspection, Cleaning, Continuity and Fault Location; Insertion Loss Testing; OTDR Testing; Return Loss, Dispersion and Fiber Characterization; Standards, Metrology, Documentation and Troubleshooting. Listen first, then drill the same material in the hub
