"We look forward to providing them with the in-depth, interactive training that is helping the industry optimize workforce expertise, equipping employees for the future, and improving customer satisfaction and ROI."

The SCTE/ISBE is working to increase its Spanish language portfolio to 30 training courses and certifications within the next year. Courses currently available address broadband and wireless installation and maintenance, DOCSIS 3.1installation, Internet of Things, cybersecurity, and other areas. The SCTE/ISBE plans to introduce more than a dozen new Spanish language course offerings addressing coax and optical construction, proactive network maintenance (PNM), critical facilities, and other topics in the near future.
