Inter Networkz
Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' The CWNAâ„?certification covering the current objectives will certify that successful candidates know the fundamentals of RF behavior, can describe the features and functions of wireless LAN components, and have the skills needed to install, configure, and troubleshoot wireless LAN hardware peripherals and protocols. A typical candidate should have Network+, CCNA, CNA, or MCP certification or equivalent knowledge, although these certifications are not required for CWNA certification.
The skills and knowledge measured by this examination are derived from a survey of current wireless networking experts and professionals. The results of this survey were used in weighing the subject areas and ensuring that weighting on the exam is representative of the relative importance of individual content.
