Why this Convergence+ course?
This 5-day course prepares students for the CompTIA Convergence+ Certification Exam CT0-101. Beyond certification preparation, this comprehensive course gives students a thorough understanding of the essential concepts of networking, voice, and data communications and their convergence on a single network.
- Prepare for many real-world tasks you will likely face each day as a network administrator.
- Learn the basics for converged data, voice, and multimedia network requirements analysis.
- Learn how to specify, implement, and manage the basic network components.
- Learn basic problem analysis, troubleshooting and issue resolution for converged technologies.
- Understand how different types of network engineering quality of service issues affect payload transport between devices in different network structures.
- Differentiate between VoIP communication protocols and encoding schemes.
- Learn the essential principles of network operation, maintenance, and design.
- Learn to use network devices to optimise network traffic for multimedia traffic.
- Learn the essential requirements for building reliable, redundant, and recoverable multi-payload type network infrastructures.
By studying these and other intricate details of network design, operation, and administration, from network engineering to protocols, management, and security, students will gain valuable knowledge and the experience needed to implement a complete network solution to suit a converged network environment.
Convergence+ Training Course Objectives
On completing this course, you will be able to:
- Demonstrate application of traffic engineering concepts, quality of service (QoS) and network performance.
- Describe fundamentals of voice systems including dialing plans and identification of network endpoints.
- Describe networking technologies used in a converged network including the OSI model layers and network models.
- Identify methods of encoding, decoding, and compression for rich media transmission.
- Identify different types of messaging, collaboration, contact center, and mobility applications.
- Identify benefits of using different video and audio standards and the impact on the performance on the network.
- Identify the functions of hardware components as used on a converged network.
- Identify common symptoms and problems on a converged network.
- Describe and use tools and commands to monitor network performance including proper administration procedures.
- Explain concepts and components of security design and how they affect the converged network.
Who should attend this Convergence+ course
- This course will prepare students to take the CT0-101 CompTIA Convergence+ Certification exam, for the objectives released in 2007.
CompTIA Convergence+ Certification has been created as a benchmark for knowledge and skills in the area of communications technologies, where IP networks are used to deliver data, voice, video, and other broadcast media. The qualification is endorsed by Avaya, Siemens, and Intel among other leading vendors.
Convergence+ Course Pre-requisites
CompTIA Network+ Certification is an essential prerequisite for this course. Candidates are also encouraged to have had 18 to 24 months of work experience in the areas of data networking, VoIP, and other convergence related technologies.
Lifetime Post-Course Support
After completing this
Convergence+ 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.
