BICSI (www.bicsi.org) has granted a
training license to Freshwater Global Institute in Harbord, New South
Wales, Australia. It is the first such license that BICSI has granted
to an organization in Australia.
"We recognize the need for global relationships to fulfill the demand
for BICSI training," said Richard Dunfee, BICSI's training manager.
"The demand is twofold: international membership is growing at 120%
annually, and more international telecommunications projects are
specifying RCDDs and BICSI-registered installers."
Freshwater actually obtained two licenses: a multi-site cabling
installation license and a distribution design license. The
installation license allows Freshwater to deliver BICSI's three-level
Telecommunications Cabling Installation Program at up to five fixed
sites. The program includes Installer Level 1, Installer Level 2, and
Technician registrations. The Distribution Design Program license
includes three core courses in the BICI distribution-design curriculum:
DD100, DD102, and DD200. Both licenses allow Freshwater to deliver
courses anywhere outside of North America.
BICSI requires that only BICSI-certified instructors teach licensed
courses.
