Do you already have tools and connectors? If not, a class really isn't
necessary depending on whose product you use. The assembly process is
quite
simple these days. There are a few simple tools required (crimper,
cleaver,
collar locker) but long gone are the days of using microscopes and
polishing pads etc. Currently I use Corning's UNICAM connectors with a
Siecor tool set and have not had a single failure during construction or
after -- yet. There's a bit more loss in these connectors because of the
optical gel interface but that extra bit has never gotten in the way of my
loss budgets.
