ATM, SDH, DWDM, WDM, Dark Fibre Optic Training Course Classes::UK Frame Relay and ISDN Training Courses

Why this WAN course?

This unique "Fast Track" course provides an essential introduction to current and emerging wide area network technologies. The course presents the information you need to compare network technologies and plan high-speed WANs and services.

Who should attend this WAN course

All personnel who will be:

Planning
Implementing
Supporting
Managing wide area networks.

WAN Course Pre-requisites

Course 301: Introduction to Data Communications and Networking, or equivalent experience, is a pre-requisite for this course.

Lifetime Post-Course Support

After completing this WAN training course, delegates receive lifetime post-training support from LEVER Technology Group PLC, to help them apply the technologies and skills they have learned with us, to provide career-long support, and to ensure they are better equipped for their future roles in IT and networking.
