The Certificate Program prepares engineers to engage in all aspects of a specific technology network build-out. The program starts with a general overview of the technology specifications, coupled with network design and dimensioning (or network overlay design in an evolving network), and progresses into detailed treatment of implementation issues and pre-launch network optimization. The certification sequence finishes with a module centered on post-launch network performance optimization, also known as performance engineering.
- Pre-assessment: The pre-assessment test establishes the knowledge base of the student to enable his/her appropriate placement in the program.
- Classroom Instructor-lead Hands-on Training: The course modules provide a flexible approach to the certification process, allowing each category of engineering personnel to attend relevant portions of the program. They are a combination of theory and practical tasks, and may include client best practices. There are exercises and assessments after every module completion.
- Post-assessment: The post-assessment allows us to determine if a student has mastered the technology and will be able to successfully implement and/or operate the specific technology.
