Opleiding: Certified Network Cabling Design Professional (CNCDP®) (exam incl.) (English) (Virtual)

Lesmethode :

Virtueel

Algemeen :

With few exceptions, enterprises today rely on IT for the delivery of business-critical services - often directly to the end consumer. It is therefore vital that the mission-critical data centre is designed, maintained and operated with high-availability and efficiency in mind. Among all the facilities, network cabling is the foundation for the network and one of the major contributors to the availability of the data center.

CNCDP® is a 2-day course designed to expose participants to in-depth knowledge in designing and installing the data network cabling system which includes key subject matters such as; technical standards, designing of different cabling sub-systems, calculation of material requirements, architecture, installation, testing and acceptance.

Certification

After completing the course, you will be prepared for the internationally recognised EPI exam. The certificate is valid for three years.

Exam at the training location

As standard, you will take the exam at the training location on the final course day. The exam is delivered digitally via EXIN Online. You must bring your own laptop with a working browser and internet connection. The trainer will act as the exam supervisor.

Online exam at a later time

If you attend the course online via Microsoft Teams, are unable to be physically present on the final course day, or there is insufficient time to take the exam during the course, you will receive an EXIN Anywhere voucher. This allows you to take the exam online at a time of your choice.

Doel :

After completing the course, you can design and validate structured network cabling and patching systems for commercial buildings and data centres by applying standards, selecting the right pathways, and using correct installation and testing practices for copper and fibre.

Doelgroep :

This course is intended for IT, facilities, and data centre professionals, consultants, and anyone involved in network cabling system design, implementation, or operations.

Voorkennis :

There is no specific prerequisite for the CNCDP® course. However, participants who already have at least one or two years experience in a IT, data centre or facilities environment may be best suited. Those with no experience just yet are most welcome to participate.
