CWNA and CWSP Combination
Course ID
05080
Course Description
In today network environment the implementation of wireless technologies is a serious undertaking. Improper planning can lead to an inadequate return on investment. Insufficient understanding of the security implications of wireless can lead to catastrophic results. This course enables an individual to plan, select, and implement the appropriate wireless hardware and deploy the correct security controls to support a typical environment. A focus on RF (radio frequency) technologies in a vendor neutral environment, with hands-on laboratories to reinforce concepts, allows participants the broadest exposure to key concepts. This course is committed to be the most current in the industry, with professionally developed laboratory exercises and real world hardware. This course combines the materials covered on Planet3 Wireless CWNA and CWSP examinations and will ultimately be the official curriculum to prepare candidates for Mile2 Wireless Administration and Security examination. Upon completion, students will be able to confidently undertake the Planet3 Wireless CWNA and CWSP examinations conducted at Thompson Prometric testing centers. Students will benefit from an in-depth course that is continuously updated to maintain and incorporate the rapidly changing wireless networking and security environment.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of TCP/IP, 12 months experience in networking technologies, computer hardware knowledge, and typical operating system experience.
Audience
Individuals interested in pursuing the Planet3 Wireless CWNA and XWSP examinations.
