TCP/IP training course benefits

This unique IP training course has been developed by LEVER Technology Group PLC to meet the requirements of IT professionals supporting modern TCP/IP-based networks. This IP course is designed for people who want a truely comprehensive coverage of TCP/IP protocols and the recent developments in IP networking.

In just three days, this TCP/IP course provides attendees with the in-depth knowledge and skills that are needed to support IP networks and their users, including advanced diagnosis and troubleshooting of networks using TCP/IP protocols.

Each TCP/IP training course module incorporates extensive hands-on practical sessions, working with TCP/IP on Microsoft Windows operating systems, UNIX and IP routers. Delegates also perform in-depth network protocol analysis, and work with widely-available third-party diagnostic utilities.

The TCP/IP course also provides relevant introductions to four new and significant areas in IP networking:

  • Voice over IP
  • IPv6
  • IP QoS
  • IP security
  • Mobile IP

Who should attend TCP/IP training?

Everyone needing a comprehensive coverage of TCP/IP protocols, particularly IT professionals responsible for supporting modern TCP/IP-based networks.

TCP/IP course pre-requisites

Delegates will have worked with a Microsoft Windows operating system, Linux or UNIX, and should have a good understanding of Ethernet, LAN hardware, and an appreciation of the OSI seven layer model.

Course 301: Introduction to Datacomms and Networking, is recommended.
