Our technician-level courses and boot camps are designed specifically for both outside plant and central office craftsmen and personnel requiring training that directly relates to their everyday work experience.

Most classes are offered onsite at the client's facility however, when this is not possible or is not preferred by the client, a facility convenient and in proximity to the group being trained will be arranged. What are the qualifications of the instructors teaching Chapman University Telecom courses? All courses and boot camps are taught by industry recognized subject matter experts and practitioners. All of our instructors must be from the Telecom Industry. In fact most of our instructors consult directly with major telcos around the country and have on average 10-15 years professional field experience. Most of our technician-level instructors were formerly craftsman. What percentage of the classes or boot camps are "hands-on"? 100% of our technician-level courses consist of a minimum of 50% hands-on training with actual equipment and labs relevant to the topic being covered. About 40% of our management-level courses are primarily lecture and discussion based covering key business concepts and methodology involving some of the latest trends and issues facing the telecom industry both domestically and international.

Many of our students utilize their tuition reimbursement benefits in order to assist them with their tuition for Chapman University telecom classes. Because these classes are backed by a 142-year old regionally accredited* (WASC) and nationally recognized university, our classes and boot camps qualify for most company tuition reimbursement policies. Check with your company's human resource department and or contact us and one of our Educational Specialists will assist you in the evaluation and processing of your paperwork. What does college credit mean to me and what are the benefits of telecom training from Chapman University? All Chapman University telecom courses and boot camps are offered for either Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or college elective credit so these are in fact college courses. When a student takes a Chapman course he or she earns a grade for the course documented by an official college transcript. Students also receive a certificate of completion from the University upon successfully completing the course or courses in their track of study. Since these are college classes a student may be able to transfer the credit into another institution's program. However Chapman makes no guarantee as to the transferability of a course. The transferability of Chapman's courses into another institution's program or degree is based solely at the discretion of the receiving institution. Students are advised to check with the institution and program of interest prior to enrolling in a Chapman course or boot camp. |
