Rogers Cable Certification

Rogers Fulfillment Technician Certification Program

The following SCTE certification information is intended for Authorized Rogers Fulfillment Technicians only.

The Certification

SCTE has established the Certified Fulfillment Technician (CFT) certification based on a proven foundation of cable installation and service knowledge. The CFT certification describes the knowledge of a fulfillment technician who will install and troubleshoot telecommunications services at the customer’s premises.

The Exam

The CFT exam is a 50-question, multiple choice exam. Your certification exam will be proctored through a remote process following completion of the course.

Passing score: 80%

Those who successfully pass the certification exam will be awarded an SCTE certificate. If the exam is not passed, see instructions below for retaking the exam.

Remote Proctoring

The CFT exam will be proctored through a virtual proctoring organization, ProctorU. You will be required to purchase the exam from the SCTE website and schedule the exam with ProctorU prior to taking the exam at the completion of the RF Services course. The exam must be scheduled at least 72 hours prior to taking the exam or additional ProctorU fees will apply.
