A Deep Dive into the OSPDRM , 6th edition 20 Jan. 2026 10 a.m.-5 p.m. (EST)

For a project to succeed, a leader must ensure that the right people receive the right information at the right time. While this might sound simple, it can be challenging if you don’t have a precise communications plan in place. This three-part class will prepare you accordingly.

This workshop uses real-world scenarios to demonstrate how existing project managers or others responsible for managing costs and resources take steps for any project. This three-part vILT will detail how to use estimations, a work breakdown structure, and earned value management metrics.

21-22 Jan. 2026 8:30 a.m.-Noon (EST) 6 CECs*

In this three-part class, learners will find a better understanding of passive optical network (PON) technologies, including intrinsic details, data, and voice and video communication infrastructure. Specifics cover designing, installing, testing, and restoring a PON.

This three-part vILT is ideal for those who are eligible for and plan to sit for the Outside Plant (OSP) Designer credentialing exam. Led by a BICSI training specialist, these live meetings help students get a better understanding of the Outside Plant Design Reference Manual to prepare for the OSP test.
