We utilize the BICSI Level 1 ITS curriculum.  Over the course of their training, they complete hands-on exercises with guidance from veteran instructors. They acquire knowledge of industry standards and codes and learn fundamental skills in low-voltage cable installation. All training and tasks are in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA standards and the National Electric Code (NEC).  Some of the hands-on tasks Brooklyn Networks graduates can complete include:

  • Pulling cable
  • Terminations

  • OSHA workplace safety
CREDENTIALED

Graduates train with the BICSI Information Technology Systems Level 1 curriculum, a standards and codes based curriculum. Additionally, they receive their OSHA 30 Certification.  The technical training takes place in our state-of-the art learning lab on the NYC College of Technology campus.

Brooklyn Networks has provided skilled workers in the cable installation sector since 2001. We can offer employers more recent graduates for entry-level positions or more experienced graduates for Technician, Lead Tech, and other advanced positions.
