<h3><b>Network management technologies course description</b></h3>
        <p>A comprehensive tour of the available network
management technologies available for todays
networks. The course starts with basic tools such as
syslog along with Python network automation. SNMP is
then covered with the *flow technologies and streaming
telemetry. Configuration management with ansible,
Python, NETCONF and RESTCONF is then studied.
The final part of the course looks at SDN. Hands on
sessions are used throughout to reinforce the theory
rather than teach specific manufacturer equipment.
Note that sections are available as individual courses.

<h3><b>3G training course description</b></h3>
      <p>  This course is designed to give the delegate an
understanding of the technologies used within a 3G
UMTS mobile network. During the course we will
investigate the UMTS air interface and the use of
Wideband-Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) to
facilitate high speed data access, together with HSPA
to offer mobile broadband services. We will describe
the use of soft handover rather than hard handover
procedures and soft capacity sharing. The course
includes a brief exploration of the UMTS protocol stack
and the use of PDP Context and QoS support features.</p>
