Lab Exam Registration

Lab exam registration, management, and cancellation

In support of the certification requirements for Optical Network Architect, Optical Network Design Expert, and Optical Network Services Expert, Nokia offers practical lab exams that ensure a candidate’s ability to design, configure, manage and troubleshoot optical networks based on the 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) portfolio.

Lab exams are offered virtually or from select Nokia locations identified below. In order to register for a lab exam, candidates must have completed the necessary pre-requisites.
