Implementing Unified Wireless Networking Essentials
The goal of the IUWNE v1.0 is to provide students with information and practice activities to prepare them to help design, install, configure, monitor and conduct basic troubleshooting tasks on Cisco WLAN in SMB and Enterprise installations. As an associate level, the course aims to provide entry level information, and will not specialise in any of the advanced features of the Cisco WLAN networks solutions.
The Implementing Cisco Unified Networking Essentials is a five day ILT course, designed to help students prepare for the CCNA Wireless certification, as an associate level certification specialising in the wireless field.
