CWDP TRAINING COURSE DESCRIPTION
The CWDP course consists of instructor-led training applicable to the design of
wireless LANs using the latest technologies including 802.11n and 802.11ac. The
course goes in-depth into the design process and provides attendees with the
knowledge needed to plan, deploy and test modern 802.11-based networks. It also
prepares students for the CWDP examination. Students who complete the course
will acquire the necessary skills for preparing, planning performing and
documenting site surveys and wireless LAN design procedures.
