Training CWNP

Training goals

code: CWNP-CWDP | version: CWDP-304

The Certified Wireless Design Professional (CWDP) has the knowledge and skill set required to manage the entire WLAN design life cycle: defining, designing, deploying, and diagnosing. Tasks within these stages include gathering necessary information and requirements and creating a design. These professional implements, validates, and optimizes the solution to ensure objectives are met. A CWDP contributes to, or takes responsibility for, any or all stages within this process.

When you pass the CWDP exam and hold a valid CWNA certification, you earn the CWDP certification and credit towards the CWNE certification should you choose to pursue it.

Each participant in an authorized CWNP CWDP training held in Compendium CE will receive a free CWDP-304 Certified Wireless Design Professional Exam voucher.

Additional information

Prerequisites

Basic networking knowledge (OSI/IP). Basic network security concepts and wireless network administration CWNA or equivalent knowledge. To earn the CWDP certification, you must pass 2 exams: CWNA and CWDP
Difficulty level
Duration 3 days
Certificate

The participants will obtain certificates signed by Compendium CE (course completion).

The CWDP certification is a professional level wireless LAN certification for the CWNP Program. To earn a CWDP certification, you must hold a current and valid CWNA credential. You must take the CWDP exam at a Pearson Vue Testing Center and pass with a 70% or higher. Instructors must pass with a 80% or higher. However you choose to prepare for the CWDP exam, you should start with the exam objectives, which cover the full list of skills tested on the exam.  The CWDP certification is valid for three (3) years. To recertify, you must have a current CWNA credential and pass the current CWDP exam. By passing the CWDP certificate, your CWNA certificate will be renewed for an another three years.

CWDP exam is available through the Pearson VUE test centers.

Each participant in an authorized CWNP CWDP training held in Compendium CE will receive a free CWDP-304 Certified Wireless Design Professional Exam voucher.

Traditional training

Sessions organised at Compendium CE are usually held in our locations in Kraków and Warsaw, but also in venues designated by the client. The group participating in training meets at a specific place and specific time with a coach and actively participates in laboratory sessions.

Dlearning training

You may participate from at any place in the world. It is sufficient to have a computer (or, actually a tablet, or smartphone) connected to the Internet. Compendium CE provides each Distance Learning training participant with adequate software enabling connection to the Data Center. For more information, please visit dlearning.eu site
