The Roadmap to Product Certification in Clearfield College is a structured and progressive pathway designed to guide participants from foundational learning to becoming certified experts in Clearfield’s industry-leading product portfolio. Our easy to follow, online, self-paced courses are followed by an assessment. Later hands-on courses in the field apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings.
Begin your journey with online classes designed specifically for apprentices. This phase introduces foundational concepts, covering the core building blocks of Clearfield® products and essential installation techniques. The Apprentice Level lays the groundwork for success, ensuring you develop the knowledge and confidence needed to excel in the field as you progress to more advanced training.
These courses serve as prerequisites to the core product training within Clearfield College, preparing you for the next stages of your learning journey.
Advancing to Level 2 opens the door to Product-Specific Master Certifications.

You’ll gain in-depth knowledge and the confidence to work effectively with Clearfield solutions in the field. Successfully completing these product courses moves you forward to the next stage: Master Certification.
At Level 3, learners transition from online coursework—where they earned badges and certificates for Apprentice and Journeyman courses—to applying their theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. This level focuses on demonstrating mastery of Clearfield product solutions and recommended installation practices through a field assessment verified by an authorized Clearfield representative.
