Description

We are The Light Brigade Inc., a 21-year-old training organization for the fiber optic industry that focuses exclusively on design, installation and maintenance. Fiber optic training companies are not that unusual, however, we are unique in that we teach with the client's best interests in mind. We tailor our education and skill building programs to the needs of the entire range of fiber optics professionals - from technicians to the engineers, from installers to managers.

Our training objective is to take macro-knowledge and apply it to micro-decisions so our clients can make informed technical and business decisions to meet their current and future needs.

Who are our clients?

Our students and clients permeate the fiber optic workplace as technicians, engineers, installers, supervisors, network designers, managers and consultants from all industries using or planning to use optical systems. The companies we serve include:


Telecommunications, manufacturers and network carriers
State, local and federal governments
Electrical, telecom and data communications contractors
Engineering and research institutes
K-12 schools, universities and colleges
Medical facilities
Aerospace industries
National and international military organizations
Small to large commercial enterprises.

End Users


We are unique because we are unbiased!

We provide comprehensive knowledge about fiber optic system design, maintenance and installation in an unbiased manner. The Light Brigade is not affiliated with any specific vendor and offers hands-on use of tools and equipment from a wide variety of manufacturers.

Our educators teach from real world experience!

Since the mid 1980s The Light Brigade has worked extensively on projects with local firms such as Microsoft, Boeing, BPA, Puget Power, State of Washington, Verizon and Qwest. In addition, our training staff includes engineers with experience designing, installing, maintaining and restoring fiber optic systems of all sizes. Many have taught college courses in electronics and telecommunications. Others have built and operated fiber systems for utilities, telephone companies, state and federal organizations and consulted for international companies.

This extensive and varied background of our instructors and staff allows The Light Brigade to teach both the theory and practical skills that are applicable to our wide range of clients.

What you don't know CAN hurt you!

Simply educating our students to the theory, terminology and hands-on skills is not enough. The Light Brigade enhances the student's knowledge by illuminating fiber optic issues and how they impact future technologies and trends. Our curriculum developers do intensive research and attend high-level meetings and seminars with leading industry experts and scientists, allowing us to constantly update our materials. This leading-edge awareness of the fiber optics industry is filtered back into our classrooms to the benefit of our clients.

Our classrooms are around the world!

Our training facility, with its state-of-the-art equipment, is located in Tukwila, Washington just south of Seattle, near SeaTac airport. We conduct classes year-round throughout the United States and in a dozen countries. We also offer custom courses for clients at their sites. Classroom training is a multimedia experience incorporating traditional presentation techniques and our own video-based educational materials, which have been developed over the years from live sites and installations.

The Light Brigade prepares you for the future!

The driving force today in fiber optics is the need for bandwidth and reliable communication. As long this need remains, the need for training in fiber optic systems will exist. Our goal is to provide the highest quality training available to meet this need.
