Global Knowledge Launches Three New Courses to Prepare Students for CWNP Wireless Certifications

Global Knowledge, a member of CWNP’s Authorized Learning Partner program, today announced the availability of three new courses that cover enterprise Wi-Fi fundamentals, administration, and security and help students prepare for CWNP wireless certifications.

In Enterprise Wi-Fi Fundamentals (CWTS), students will gain the knowledge needed to enter into or advance within the wireless networking industry. From basic RF theory and regulatory requirements to implementation of WLAN devices, students will get up-to-speed on the latest in 802.11 technologies in a practical way. This two-day course helps students prepare for Certified Wireless Technology Specialist (CWTS) certification, and it is available live over the Internet in a virtual classroom and as a private on-site course that can be tailored to the needs of a student’s organization.

In the hands-on Enterprise Wi-Fi Administration (CWNA), students will learn to successfully survey, install, and administer enterprise-class Wi-Fi networks as they prepare for Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) certification. Students will gain a full understanding of how radio frequency affects networking so they can perform site surveys, design a high-performance network, and protect both users and sensitive data from potential intruders. Students will explore advanced topics, such as VoWLAN deployments, seamless mobile connectivity, and detailed wireless frame analysis, and they will use enterprise-class hardware and software tools during live lab exercises, simulating a state-of-the-art production environment. This five-day course is available in classrooms, live over the Internet in virtual classrooms, and as a private on-site course that can be tailored to the needs of a student’s organization.

Students in the five-day Enterprise Wi-Fi Security (CWSP) will learn to install and configure wireless networks for optimal security. Using the latest enterprise wireless LAN security and auditing equipment in this hands-on course, students will learn, in detail, the most up-to-date WLAN intrusion and DoS tools and techniques. They will learn about functionality of the 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard, the inner-workings of each EAP type used with wireless LANs today, and every class and type of WLAN security solution available on the market, from wireless intrusion prevention systems to wireless network management systems. This course helps students prepare for Certified Wireless Security Professional (CWSP) certification and is available in classrooms and as a private on-site course that can be tailored to the needs of a student’s organization.
